mmm. very interesting article . i have just heard the 30% speed kills figure" quoted by a safety camera partnership" lady on tv. in the light of this you must conclude its labour dogma to drive motorists onto buses and trains.

Very good article and sadly, all to true.
Katana, in many ways, our politicians are already like this guy. When was the last time a figure in authority got prosecuted for speeding?

It's particularly interesting that they seem to include anything related to speed, ie not judging the speed of another vehicle when pulling out etc within these figures, regardless of whether the speed is over or under the limit.
It does rather smack of Labours constant manipulation of figures in order to suit their purpose. These are the people who blamed oil companies for the high price of fuel, whilst taking 75p of every pound you spend on fuel as tax.
On a slight tangent. Douglas Adams wrote a wonderful book called 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency' in which a software company had developed a piece of software that could generate plausable reasoning for whatever decision one wanted to make. In the book, the US government bought the rights to it. In reality, maybe Labour did
