Funnily enough the conservatives had the same policy until a year ago.
Whichever party gets in, it will need revenue.
It will also need to try to get people out of their cars and onto pt.
Now, if you want a really fun council:

And:

Well here or your last link :
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/new ... chdog.html

He got my quote wrong - what a shame !! ooops. "You don't measure safe driving in miles per hour".
I have him about twice that amount .... Still delighted I got more than 2 lines. :)

It is appalling - what is it going to take to get them to face their own music. Talk about saving face instead of lives.

The "spokesman for the Department for Transport" is saying, essentially, that they know that the statistics are wrong but that they are the only statistics they have so they will use the as a basis for policy. Who else could get away with that kind of logic?
