| taken from the T2000 web site. •Driving sensibly: Keep to 40 or 50mph, even on motorways, and don’t accelerate too rapidly. Priceless. :lol: Utterly fatuous...

| The man is a total prat. Remember his antics when he played for Leeds? If he is so stupid as to drive at that speed, he deserves all he gets. Sorry, no sympathy whatsoever.

| Without wanting to drift too far off Stephen's topic, surely modern technology is capable of providing for variable speed limits. These some to work well on the M25, though I must admit that I am only an occasional user of that road. We ought at least to be exploring the possibility elsewhere parti... |

The only DfT figures I could find were the deaths for Cheshire:
1995: 81
1996: 76
1997: 61
1998: 69
1999: 75
2000: 73
2001: 69
2002: 70
2003: 72
2004: 67

| My view has changed markedly over the last few years. The sensible rational person in me says that the police driver found guilty of speeding should be treated as any other individual.
