Talking

QUOTE:
Isobel Brydie, spokeswoman for the Scottish Campaign against Irresponsible Drivers (SCID), branded the driver as "completely mad".

I wonder if Isabel realises that her organisation is an anagram of the SIDC

"Isobel Brydie, spokeswoman for the Scottish Campaign against Irresponsible Drivers (SCID), ........
She said: "Driving a car at that speed carries the same danger as discharging a shotgun in a crowded street. "
That's an amazing statistic, here's another one I dug up - 87.3% of all statistics are made up.

Seriously, how many people are going to believe that ?

Exclamation

Not only is it near impossible to control a car at such a ridiculous speed
WRONG! Tell that to F1, rally, BTCC drivers (and police pursuit drivers ). Oh, their cars are designed to be driven at that speed. Well so probably was this high performance sports saloon car.

Using the phone was pretty stupid, and he deserves to get punished for that. Not knowing all the facts it is impossible to judge but this statement in itself is irresponsible.

If it was impossible to control why didn't he crash? Another dumbass statement regarding speed this time from the AA - no wonder people tak no notice.
