So the rally drivers might get banned
See my other thread here.
According to this article there were
"Thousands of motor sport fans ... caught breaking the speed limit on roads across south Wales during last week's World Rally Championship."
"Police revealed on Thursday they had caught 2,336 speeding drivers on camera during the four-day event."
"Some people were driving at ridiculously high speeds"
"Two drivers were stopped after clocking up 135mph"
There has now been time to collate the figures, so please tell me what increase in the accident rate occurred due to this lunacy
How many additional deaths and serious injuries were there? As this was only those caught speeding, the true scale of the disgraceful driving can only begin to be imagined.
Please publish and be damned.

John Rowling, of the South Wales Safety Camera Partnership, which operates speed and red light camera enforcement in the Gwent, South Wales and Dyfed-Powys Police force areas said the results were very disappointing.
Bollox to going this year, it's just not worth the risk

Let's see the Police try and argue that they weren't in proper control of their vehicles!
Thank goodness the Police caught all those dangerous racing drivers, and not harassing poor helpless heroin-dealing house-breaking gypsie $hitess.
