| Turn the argument on its head (and this isn't my idea, it was first proposed on Pistonheads). Instead of allocating points for accidents, allocate negative points for clean driving record. No accidents and no convictions = extra merits on driving licence. Start with 12, get 3 added per years clean r... |

| Sadly I can't be there in person, as I have visitors this weekend. Maybe the next one - relay protest up the M6? (that way anyone not wanting to be inconvenienced - mini drivers - can use the toll!). Anyways, good luck to everyone who is taking part. Keep it legal, keep it shiny side up, and make su... |

| However, there is a downside to something like this. When "reactive brake lights" become the norm, I suspect that "non-reactive" brake lights would be interpreted as gentle braking no matter how hard the braking actually was.

| Its bad enough being penalised and criminalised by unthinking hardware; the idea of folk with a twisted view of road safety being able to affect my standing as a driver doesn't bear thinking about. Bear in mind that a large portion of the motoring public are not only poor drivers, they do not recogn... |

| I can't believe these mini guys whingeing. This protest is long overdue, and had to happen somewhere, sometime. It's happening on the M4 because thats where the cameras have been placed.
