56 years after it was decided it was needed, the Bedford Bypass is nearing completion. The last single carriageway length of it.We have the most photogenic mayor though, always being photographed doing nothing

Not round our way they don't...they certainly spend lots of money to increase congestion and increase harmful emmissions, like the dozens of traffic lights that I sat at between 8PM and 12PM last night with less than 3 cars waiting at them.

My views do not represent Safespeed but those of a driver who has driven for 39 yrs, in all conditions, at all times of the day & night on every type of road and covered well over a million miles, so knows a bit about what makes for safety on the road,what is really dangerous and needs to be observed when driving and quite frankly, the speedo is way down on my list of things to observe to negotiate Britain's roads safely, but I don't expect some fool who sits behind a desk all day to appreciate that.

I'm under the impression councils don't want motorists in town centres !
Well i don't have a problem there
When businesses start going down perhaps they will start to listen to sense ?

NOW then - VAT going up in January . Councils getting less money from central Gov't . The Council books need balancing - WE NEED COMPENSATION - so who's easy meat .We can't hit the ratepayers, they'll only vote us out( or vote in a coalition group) . We need an easy target which hasn't fought back . It's either the pensioners ( who've go no cash) , or motorists . Oh-,WELL ,looks like we've got to find another way of screwing yet more out of the unwary motorist .
