Letter: Animal 'junk'

Sir: We read (Briefing, 12 May) that among the pieces of "rubbish" that apparently "plague" British motorists are the quarter of a million corpses of the animals they killed. How appalling that 54 per cent had to swerve to avoid these "objects" (swerving to avoid them before they were dead was not thought worth the trouble).

We must be grateful to Autoglass for drawing attention to this form of suffering on the part of their clients, but there is a serious omission: the human "pieces of junk" that obstruct the motorist's happy progress have not been counted.
