[QUOTE="DaveJ, post: 512716, member: 4384"] While I don't necessarily disagree with your broad viewpoint, wooly offences such as "driving at an inappropriate speed" are notoriously subjective and hard to prove. For example is the speed that is inappropriate for Kevin in his lowered Civic also inappropriate for me, a Blue Light trained driver in an Audi with every safety gizmo going? Every charge would require a court appearance and a substantial proportion would I suspect be thrown out. And do you really want to scare/police Mrs Goggins in her Micra off the public highway when she probably only drives to town once a week to see her grandchildren? She may well be utterly infuriating when you're stuck behind with the Landrover and a load of lambs, but in a rural area you are completely taking away her independence. I'm completely in favour of increasing the HGV speed limit though. Hope they take a similarly common sense approach to the tractor regs. [/QUOTE]
