It Has Happened.

At last the moment that Transport 2000 has been waiting for. Proof that driving at 300mph is dangerous. An investigation is underway into how the crash of Richard Hammond occurred yesterday as he tried to break the land speed record. I would like to suggest that it was caused by him trying to break the land speed record.

This just goes to prove that all the motoring lobby groups who say no one should drive over 20mph are right. Following on from my report on Health and Safety yesterday, I think the government is just around the corner from deciding that no one should drive at all.

Personally, I think this is a ripe opportunity for the police to make some money. We could introduce levels of speeding fine from the current £60 up to £150 or more depending on the speed travelled. If you go over 300mph in a rocket-shaped car with a parachute on the back, you stand to get a roadside fine of £200 and eleven points on your license. This would give the police greater jurisdiction to decide the guilt and innocence of the public at large, in a five minute interlude at the side of the road, rather than having to utilise the court system. Anything that frees up the court system is a good thing.

In the future I hope to develop proposals whereby all offences, including burglary, GBH and terrorism, can be dealt with by way of a fixed penalty notice at the side of the road.
