It wasn't speed that caused the accident; it was a pissed driver.

How much more tax are YOU willing to pay for additional resources or tech to catch and prosecute more drinking drivers?

Speed might not be the cause, but it does influence the outcome.

It's the speed on impact that influences the outcome, not the speed at which the vehicle was travelling beforehand. A more alert / less drunk driver could react quicker to a hazard, resulting in a lower impact speed and less damage / risk to life. So arguably the state of the driver is equally or more important than the speed at which they were travelling before the hazard became apparent.

Er, the story is about the Police busy lobbing their new SPEED detection equipment. Easy hanging fruit to prosecute motorists, me thinks.

Dont speed then. You cant be prosecuted if you know how to handle your cars controls correctly.

At which point the virgin Mary threw a stone.
Jesus's then said "Mother, sometimes you can be so annoying!"

In the words of the Virgin Mary: "come again?".

Did anyone have 6 replies? I had my bet on 4 as the 3:1 favourite. I’ll pay on 5 through 7.
