| But SCPs pervert the course of justice routinely; they allow cases to goto court even when they know that certain stretches of road are unenforceable and equipment faulty; The police themselves are far worse than those such as this chap but they have a license to do it. |

For once I haven't many words and although I've only spoken with Paul a few times on the phone, i'm quite choked actually. Paul's a brave man who stood up for what he believed in, the best memorial to him i'm quite sure, is to keep his work and SafeSpeed going.
Condolences to Paul's family. |

| interesting to hear of canberras flying that low, I had always thought of them as high altitude aircraft. That was certainly how they ended their days on photo recon or weather recording duties. For low flying - in pre harrier days - you needed a buccaneer. they are so stable at low level even the ... |

| Not sure what the stall speed of the Vulcan is. If its anywhere near the max speed of the Lanc it won't happen. About 90 kts and 275kts respectively. Vulcans don't stall in quite the same way as most aircraft, they just drop out of the sky without much of a change in attitude. Ahem, a bit like the ... |

| Nope, it's not your imagination. They closed two lanes off of the M40 for a minor smack, vehicles were on the hard shoulder; everytime somebody ends up on the hard shoulder, they put the descretionary limits to 50 (many a time they forget to turn them off too). If a serious smack, the whole section ... |
