Good stuff. Even more so coming from the Observer/Gaurdian group.

Nice one Paul.

A decent article in a high profile setting (and even a photo ). Shows SafeSpeed is really getting them to take notice.

Come on folks - give Paul some more backing!

'I think it's actually dangerous to drive on a motorway at 70mph hour,' Freeman says.

Just as well he's an expert on the law, not driving.

I think you'll find he's saying 70 is dangerous because traffic generally moves at 85+ and the law should change to reflect this.

He's suggesting a striclty enforced 95mph motorway limit.

Most of the traffic in lane one moves at 56mph... It's perfectly easy to drive safely at 70 on most motorways (M25 excepted).

And if the limit is 95 what do we think people will do then, stick to it ?
How does a limit suddenly get strictly enforced if it becomes 95 ?

SPECS at every on and off ramp?

[monkeyhanger]

I'm just pointing out what he's said. I didn't say i agree with it

Still doesn't strictly enforce it, because you could do half the journey cosiderably above the limit & half considerably under it.

Tracking devices on every car could do away with all speed cameras, tolls etc etc.

Technology makes a good servant, but a cruel, incompetent and unwelcome master.

Apart from that... 'every car'? I'm in the 'no way Jose' camp. How many tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions will say 'no thanks'?
