Speeding Ministers

21 speeding offences and six crashes in two years is a pretty high rate for Labour’s Ministers.

You do have to feel a bit sorry for the Ministers that unlike Helen, they can’t just blame it on their police drivers!

I am not going to be pious on the issue of speeding (Ross and Grant are banned from commenting on this thread), but will point out this does seem to back the theory that focusing on speed instead of safety doesn’t change driving behaviour – it just results in lots of fines.

What is more alarming is six crashes in just two years. That is a high rate. I wonder if there is information on how serious they were.
