Come talk to Shropshire Police. No 1 up here is Scooby. Famous line up here from them is when they stop you is , got a clean licence, not for long with one off those. Even stopped a friend off mine in his for going too slow at 5 am in morning on the A 41.

Must be all company car drivers wishing thay had a Scoob. The Elise drivers are probably the same people at the weekend

Dracoro

Are the figures just the amount or per 1000(or whatever) of each marque?

Spoon

Ah, but how many Scooby's have a Volvo badge on the back?

silver-sub

What about the Nova's!

midget1500

that list has to be rubbish, the very fact the elise is there proves it - even if every elise owner got gatso'd a couple of times i doubt the numbers would outweigh those in fiestas, etc.

ScoobyWon't

Never seen a road worthy Nova that canb reach the speed limit.
The road legal ones are all weighed down by about 6 12" subs in the boot and the driver can't see the road for the big Max Power sun-visor that forces him to look underneath and resulting in him having to drive slowly.

Dracoro

midget1500 - That's why I asked what the actual statistic make up was (i.e. per 1000 cars etc.)

e.g. per 1000 elises in the country, 13 got caught by cameras. per 1000 fiesta's, 12 got caught by cameras etc. etc.

Stats are only useful if you have the full picture thus I hate it when they are published without the background. Assume ANY stat is worthless without more info than the stat itself.

Also, did you know that 87.5% of stats are made up on the spot?

jaf01uk

Probably somethin to do with the fact that Volvo drivers never see anything outside the car when theyre drivin, ask any biker!

SWRTWannabe

I thought it was 98%

Probably the reason Scoobs aren't there is thanks to the Road Angel's etc that everyone seems to have!
