M5 Accident

In light of the jaw dropping carnage on the M5 last night  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-15606278

 I was really surprised to hear that a firework display close to the motorway may have contributed to the accident. Why the hell was there an organised firework display so close to such a major road?

Listening to the news reports today one witness said that they could hear the cars ramming into the crashed lorries & cars at over 60 miles an hour.

An enquiry may give us information about why this happened but if the fireworks & speed played a part i hope people will sit up & take notice.

Today on very narrow winding rural roads on the way to Bishops Castle I couldnt believe the speed & risks drivers were taking. The worst were 2 idiotic young lads clearly racing over took me & nearly crashed. I caught up with them not 5 minutes later.

Why the hell have the government given people the idea that speed is ok by raising the speed limit on motorways to 80?
