| It is more junk science to tackle a small problem using out of date figures. The Govt quotes 13 deaths in 2005. The rules were only changed relatively recently and we need to allow some time to pass to see how the 2005 death rate has changed before more draconian measures are taken. To describe talk... |

| I have no doubt that his work will save a lot of lives. For that many many people will owe Paul a deep debt of gratitude. He was one of the people who inspired me to give some time to help improve the lives of others. We will miss him and are grateful for the work he did on behalf of all of us. |

| A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said: "We would be delighted if the drink-drive limit was lowered. Between 50mg and 80mg, you are six times more likely to be involved in a fatal accident than someone with no alcohol. Reducing the limit from 80mg to 50mg would ... |

| I do believe that we need more traf pols. That said I read this quote from ROSPA and wondered what evidence backed it up. Also could there be other factors that might have a low alcohol level as more of a coincidental factor. For example are the chances of being in a fatal accident greater if you dr... |

So to reduce that volume they have resorted to financial intimidation. There may even be some strains on the financial structure of the scameraships which were set up ass... |

I was driving over Richmond (Thames) bridge at night and someone sped by and the camera flash in my mirror momentarily blinded me.
What madness is this? |

| The more likely cause is the lack of motorways. These are the safest roads. But we dont have enough and some are too small. We need to get the traffic off the small single carriage way roads and onto motorways. But the tree huggers oppose motorways...........so there is more congestion and the risks... |

The road policies that we have been following where simplistic blaming of speed as the number one cause has been to the detriment of accident reduction ... |

So they (dft) make contact with people who are in on a Mon-Friday 9am to 5pm.
It excludes (probably) 80% of drivers and includes 80% of non-drivers and the 20% of drivers have a large proportion of elderly who dont like "fast traffic".

| I listened to the last hour and noted that only one pro-camera person could be bothered to call in and they were more in favour of a camera to replace speed bumps. From what I heard Paul you did a very good job. Must be ranked as one of your best weeks! I wonder if the ITV news people have a researc... |

Basingburk is clearly a time wasting troll.
He needs to go and earn some overtime at the scameraship (until its shut down).
