In the Motoring section of the DT, there is a 2/3 page interview with the "Mad Mullah". I stopped reading after a couple of paragraphs when red spots appeared before my eyes - indicating that my blood pressure was rising to excessive levels.

Opposite, there is a 2/3 page article by Martin Churchill (about to lose his licence under the "totting-up" rules" for four separate speeding offences. It contains a report that, havign accumulated 9 points, he was once followed by a police car and stopped - to make sure he was wearing his seat-belt - and then asked why he was driving within the speed limit! [This is not a criticism of "Trafpol", but of the ridiculous nature of current state of affairs brought on by people like Brunstrom, Mary Williams, Jamieson, Blunderkit and the (now demonstrably lying) Scammera Partnerships, that predisposes the police to assume that someone driving within the speed limit is committing some other offence!]

no - he avoided that one funnily enough - from memory, he merely stated that they were 'on target' to reducing the number of deaths by 40% by 2010 (? - not sure about the closing date).
well - he can fool himself but he cant fool me.

On target in reverse, clearly.......

Did he actually say deaths or KSI?

If he said deaths, it may be worth a letter to the Telegraph. N Wales road deaths were up by 13.8% in 2003.

I haven't seen the report.

ok - im back - i wont bore you - or indeed kill my fingers by typing out the whole thing but, in answer to the requested quote, it is:

"... he is confident that the target set for 2010 will be achieved. The target is to reduce road deaths by 40% from a baseline established in the mid-1990s"

so there you go!
