Here we go again. According to the Telegraph something called the Sustainable Development Commission thinks that all motorways should be monitored by average speed cameras to keep people to 70mph and save the planet.
There are so many wrong-headed things about this it's hard to know where to start, but lets just look at a few. First that 52% of drivers exceed the 70mph limit. Doesn't that tell you the limit is too low? Unsurprising when it was set in the 60s and your Ford Anglia or Austin Cambridge would have struggled to go much faster.
And notice the other spectre here, "pay-as-you-go road charging". Haven't we already said in no uncertain terms and en masse that we don't want this?
Isn't it time politicians started to listen to us, the people, instead of these half-baked, half-wit think tanks?
