Becky Guy said her daughter and her dog are often in the garden

If the choice is between endlessly letting reckless drivers crash into your hedge and hoping that they don't injure anyone else while waiting for the council to do its damn job and put a speed restriction up and running the risk of said reckless drivers sustaining more serious injuries then I think that in that imperfect world I might invoke caveat rector.

What an absurd thing to say! In what world would anybody be driving so fast into a hedge while parking that a collision might result in death?

Better dead reckless drivers than a dead you hit by said drivers while in the garden.

A hedge doesn't really have a lot of stopping power to save you from a ton of steel and plastic.

If only they could manage to not crash into bushes.

Sounds good
