I know why Road Transport is in such a mess

Well if you remember a few years ago, Jack Straw’s driver was taken to court for doing 106mph on the M5 with “JS” onboard and all this flannel about security risk was thrown about then, and like “TB” last week he was on party business and not government business. Well if he was at so much risk why wasnt he chopppered into horse guards {i beleave theres room for landing there, just round the corner from number 10}, and at these high speeds what happens in the event of a blow out or the vehicle being attacked with some sought of weapon from an embankment, {o" i forgot police drivers can handle a vehicle at any speed in any condition}, just ask the traffic cop from west mersea, who on receiving a new vehicle, sabaru impresa i think it was, decided that he would use that night shift to familiarise himself with its capabilities. If i remember right his on board camera recorded him doing 150mph + on the M54 at around 22.00hrs 100+ on some of the Aroads local to that area, and even in excess of 60mph in urban 30mph zones on the same shift, the judge in the case became so exarsperated with the numerous other traffic cops trying to defend their mate, that he ordered the assistant chief constable to appear to answer for the cavalier atitude of his officers to the rules of the road, and their duty of care to the general public. they make think that they dont have follow the same rules as us, and may be they dont,And as a foot note “JS’s” driver got away with a slap on wrist. Personaly i think it stinks, from “TB” and others in his bracket, i think that from behind the smoked windows of their official motors a resounding chorus of let “them eat cake can be heard”. And here endeth the sermon :wink:
