Sounds like he was at fault for the accident that crippled him, too. Can't these people just be deported or something? |

'30'..."well you were speeding then, what are you on about"...

I suggest as a first step he proposes removing all the speed limits in his Dorcan ward of Swindon and let people drive according to "road conditions and common sense". That should pretty quickly create uproar amongst his constituents and get him thrown out at the next election. Tony |

Clearly he was not concentrating during his driving lessons - it is of course the law, not speed cameras, which requires that drivers should keep within the speed limits. As a member of a party which claims to be hot on law and order I might have expected him to know this. In case there are any other bits of traffic law which may have temporarily slipped his mind I suggest a visit to http://www.highwaycode.gov.uk."

My speedo broke a couple of weeks back -- and I have not had a chance to get it fixed. In that time I have driven a very significant number of miles. To the best of my knowledge I have not been flashed by a speed camera or (too often) by irate motorists upset by my dawdling. It is perfectly possible to drive within the speed limit without a speedo -- you just have to leave a slightly larger margin. To be caught 4 times indicates that the guy is a complete pillock. T |

It certainly shows that he is not even trying to obey the law - the margin for error is quite substantial, after all. But then, he is condemned out of his own mouth elsewhere in the interview. He is clearly one of those arrogant self-selected "elite" drivers who considers that his own judgment is so good that it overrides the law of the land.

Obviously he's a prize w*nker, having forgotten one of the basic skills needed to pass a driving test, the ability to control speed and adhere to speed limits. He's an utter tosspot and if he were my councillor I'd be writing to him to tell him why I won't be voting for him...

"I hit a juggernaut head-on" could be because the truck was on the wrong side of the road. '"I don't speed," he said' along with "I accept that I have done wrong and I am happy to face the consequences" does make him sound a plonker though. If he was done for speeding four times and accepts he was in the wrong, clearly he does speed. Maybe not as often or as excessively as others who haven't been caught, but that's not the same as "I don't speed". |

It has to be said he seems to have no apparently redeeming features that would make me vote him onto my council. Indeed, I'd positively vote him off, and let him know why I had done so too. ![]() -- Paul ... http://www.4x4prejudice.org/index.php (8(!)

It is worth observing that "speeding" sometimes has nothing to do with speed limits. 30mph at 3:15 in the 30 limit in the residential road where my school sits is "speeding". pk |

That muast include me as well then! :-( The difference between me and the pillock in question is that I seem to be able to do it without collecting any points on my licence. |

"I don't speed" says councillor facing ban for twelve points from speeding. He needs some serious psychiatry to sort out his denial problems. ...d |

How many other occasions has he exceeded the speed limit without getting done? I went through a set of road works on the M62 with a 50 mph limit at exactly 50 mph the other day. There was a big sign stating that over 9000 drivers had been fined for exceeding this limit and yet there were people tearing past me. How many clues do these mugs need? Here the police even advertise exactly where their traps are going to be in advance and people still get done. -- Simon M. |
