thought you migt all enjoy this game. I was sent it by a mate, but basically the idea is to shoot all the speed cameras before you get flashed and run out of money.

| i spotted this on the local news earlier. Two boy racers jailed for killing a newlywed policewoman have had their sentences cut by one year by judges at the Court of Appeal. Lorna Green, 33, from Guildford, Surrey, was the pillion passenger when her husband's motorbike was hit by a car involved in a... |

As you are aware I lost my daughter Hayley in March 2003 which you will have read about in my other posts and her death was also featured this summer on crimewatch uk. Well we went to a meeting on Monday and was informed that the p... |

| probably. The way the laws work in this and other countries is very wrong. It just goes to show that loss of life is not taken seriously. You will probably find that Yorath was charged with careless driving which doesn't take into account the death of a person, just the damage caused. |

| I can see what you are saying R11co. It's a shame that the bureaucrats can't see beyond their noses and their budgets. If they were to spend some money putting these sort of criminals behind bars then there would be less money spent by the police in having to pursue these people again and again when... |

| As many of you know I am running a petition asking for a change in the laws as to how fatal accidents are dealt with and the sentences recieved when a person is at fault through bad driving. Just 11 days after I lost my daughter a young lad was killed whilst on his way to work. It seems he was a pas... |

There is no doubt that the peugeot was at fault. As I have already stated the driver of the vehicle my d... |

| My thoughts are with you Sharon. Safe speed I think there are some very good ideas there which may work as a prevention to these people being able to offend again. The tagging idea using the gps system would be most effective, but again it still falls to having enough policing to watch these systems... |

I am not saying speed cameras are the detterent that would work as that is not the case and I am fully aware of that. I do believe that the fact of the autom... |

In fact I personally know of a Police driver who when a shift is quiet at night will go and race around the quiet lanes for something to do. The thing that we do all have to remember though is that there is no better tra... |
