sounds like they are targetting one group, as in boy racers, and taking out the rest of us in teh process.

what about several groups of 4 ?

what constitutes as an acceptable gap between groups?

But hey, they got some headlines and highlighted the problem.







Oh wait, you don't think maybe that was the point of such an unenforceable and redundant law do you? Surely not.....

Well if that causes other councils to monitor car club activity, surely it's down to us to make sure runs are well organised, safe and not a nuisance to other road users and communities. The ball is in our court.

Agreed.

The way our local Chav Racers behave I'd actually welcome such a move around here just now. Bunch of idiots they are. And they give all car enthusiasts a bad name.

I read they're going to ban cars from using the roads to address the congestion problem. Celebrities, Farmers and the Emergency Services are exempt.
