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

Oh dear....I usually broadly agree with Policy director: Neil Gregg but...the latest press release is just plain factually incorrect. I've left a message and hopefully it will be corrected quickly...but the damage is already done damit. :cry:

Out of interest are the red/blue markers on your first post where the cars ended up?

Bus Lanes
