Re: It’s chilling that people drive at 81 mph on the motorway – says IAM Roadsmart

That quote is still there in the link - the link is a 3rd party quoting the IAM, so the IAM perhaps have no control over that website, however, they could remove the link from their facebook post... The IAM statement has been widely quoted. Getting precise figures for deaths is not easy, but 12 per ...

Re: Trail Braking

I have heard that difference, but I have also heard a number of people from all backgrounds referring to them both as trail braking...
