Do you feel safe on our roads?

One of the worst ever motorway crashes happened this weekend. Seven people died in a multi-vehicle pile up on the M5. You must have seen the images by now. Truly ghastly. Burnt out lorries pulverised cars, witnesses say it was like armageddon on the roads.

Today we are reporting that here in kent police have caught truckers doing the craziest most dangerous things. In a two week project they went undercover in a disguised lorry and filmed drivers routinely using mobile phones.

What have you seen on our roads? Do you feel safe? Are speed and tailgating the biggest problems?

What do you think is the most dangerous road in Kent?

We hear your stories.

What's the point of private healthcare?
Would you pay? Has it been worth it? Did your doctor offer you private healthcare?

There are plans to open a new unit for private patients at Maidstone Hospital. Nothing new with NHS hospitals having wards set aside for private patients, most of our hospitals in Kent do it, but some people are concerned that private patients will take priority when it comes to treatment.

Have you paid to go privately? Was it worth it?

We hear your views and opinions.
