Really, why?
The government is going to cut the national speed limit to 50mph on Britain's roads and enforce it with average speed cameras. Seriously. It really is like they have absolutely no idea of what the problems on the roads are caused by and how to improve the accident rate. Has Gordon actually driven himself recently? I very much doubt it.

Add this to the January case where Croft Circuit has been forced to cut all track days due to new noise restrictions. In an abuse of the common sense system they were sued for noise pollution by a local family who had lived next to the RACING CIRCUIT for many years. That was me shouting - it is not like they didn't know when they moved in next door is it? I pity the local business owners, perhaps they should rally together and park a road legal Nascar outside the house with a brick on the accelerator.
It is also reported that the daughter of the family involved is the ex-wife of the circuit owner. How did this not affect the decision?

So what is the point of enjoying driving? I might as well just take up binge drinking for a pastime, ooh no actually pub fighting - that would be thrilling. I wonder where I can buy some heroin? Perhaps that would be better than the A686?

I know who will benefit; P&O Ferries. I can see it now - a mass exodus of all the interesting and drivers' cars on to the vessel, escaping to a better place. It would be like some sort of Noah's Ark Gti and would be the only salvation.
