You are right ichkeria,
Next thing these EU monsters will be interfering in our right to run down children in our cars. Again, it is mamby pamby lefties like the AA which encourage the EU by introducing unhelpful facts like:
■ Around 5,000 children under the age of 16 die or are seriously injured on Britain’s roads each year
■ Nearly two in three road accidents happen when children are walking or playing
■ Almost two-thirds of child accident victims are boys
■ As a child gets older the risk of a road accident increases
■ A child from a low-income family is five times more likely than a child from a high-income family to be killed on the road
■ Children from an ethnic minority are involved in up to twice as many accidents while walking or playing as the national average
■ The risk of being involved in a road accident when walking or playing is more than 10 times greater for a child with hearing difficulties.

Of course, any EU legislation to protect children will be completely unhelpful and unenforcable.
