Thames Valley Website - Mark
Just had a look at this, the usual specious arguements and justification.

Funny I could not find any info on what action they are taking to tackle the 190% increase in accidents caused by speeding plods. Perhaps they have not been set any performance indicators by HMG.

Memo to self; must write to Mr Blunket on this one

as always
