As a resident of the New Forest, I use the country roads at night regularly and know that unfortunately animals choose to stand on those roads.

To be distracted by a laser beam suddenly becoming visible through the trees would have serious results.

Not only the minor roads but the main roads including motorways situated within the approximate 15 mile radius of the Civic Centre would become more dangerous (especially to strangers who have never seen the beams before).

To introduce these beams could only result in more accidents.
