| Jesus wept, I've just watched this on the BBC Six o'clock news. There is never a mention of any "safety measure" other than reducing speed limits.

| best not to get drawn into a debate over seatbelts, will only damage credibility of any argument about speed cameras. The Motorcycle Action Group lost a lot of credibility with everyone, including bikers, because it kept on about compulsory wearing of helmets. Also the ABD spouts off about global wa... |
