I HAVE full support for P C Mark Hagan (Letters, December 14).

I have no problem in saying that what the Amersham Traffic Police do is nothing short of commendable.

If anything, there should be a stronger police presence on the roads to stop mindless idiots from driving recklessly.

Taking a corner too fast or jumping lights seems so trivial, but the consequences of doing this can devastate the lives of so many.

My brother-in-law was one of the statistics that P C Hagan mentioned. He was killed in May this year by someone losing control of their car.

P C Hagan I would like to thank you and your colleagues for being so supportive during the past seven months.

The boy who did this managed to destroy a family, for David was married to my sister, who has recently given birth to their child Alice who David will never see.
