YET again a driver has blatantly ignored warning signs on the Holy Island causeway and had to be rescued by the RNLI (Echo, June 20).
This is the eighth time this year that lifeboats have had to rescue motorists stuck in the rising tide.
The cost of these rescues runs into many thousands.
Surely motorists who utterly ignore the safety warning signs should be made to foot the bill for their rescue and be prosecuted for putting themselves, and the lives of others, at risk?
