Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Spot checks are to be introduced at a Derbyshire accident blackspot following pressure from local residents.

Vehicle Inpsectorate examiners will mount the checks at a quarry near Cromford Hill in Matlock, says VI chief executive Ron Oliver.

Local residents, concerned about the safety of children attending Cromford Primary School, asked their local Conservative MP, ex-transport minister Patrick McLoughlin, to write to the VI.

About 50 trucks a day use the road and in three years there have been five serious accidents on the hill. The most recent was in August when a lorry knocked down and killed a pedestrian on a pavement (CM 1-7 September 1994).
