A schoolboy has set up a petition calling on the Manx Government to make the Switchback Road safer.
Lewis Barritt - who is 16 and a student at Castle Rushen High School - says he was inspired to set it up following a tragic accident at the weekend.
On Saturday night 14-year-old Lucia Porter was killed when the car she was travelling in left the road and crashed in a field.
The petition, which has been signed by nearly 900 people, is calling on the Department of Infrastructure to introduce a speed limit and other safety precautions.
Lewis says he feels something must be done:
Yoga studio applies for sign permission
Yacht club worries over lifeboat retirement
One nuisance cyclist ticketed in more than three years
New ministerial post created by chief minister
Huge floating book fair to arrive in Douglas next month
Stay safe for Hop Tu Naa tonight
Special Olympics fundraiser needs you
Peel ready for bonfire and fireworks later
