When I read the title, I thought you meant like wheel alignment man. :)

I wonder why so many accidents happen between 23:00 and 0500 then - I often drive during these times, and I must say, I feel a lot safer than I would driving along the M4 at 8:30am..!

Young lads in high spirits,egged on by mates that are usually full of ale

Yep true - I agree on the drink drive factor - but generally, the increased volume of 8am rush hour traffic, along with Mr no-time-to-live tailgaiter blasting down lane 3, makes it equally as dangerous, IMO

Easy, Pubs last orders are 11pm, night clubs till 3am etc etc

Apprently empty carriageways make it irresistable to floor the accelerator !!! C,mom even us oldies give in to it every now and then !!!! But a youngster, just passed his test (maybe!) hasn't got the expwerience to deal with the consequences should anything be amiss!!!!

Fair points - but I still maintain it's equally as dangerous on a motorway at rush hour, etc... people don't seem to have a minute to breathe....

Just a way of trying to prevent youngsters car smashing I think
It is optional

These things always start off as optional Martin,they said the same about ID cards.Thin end of the wedge. :y

Remember, a few years ago Norwich tried to bring it in for all age groups and it was a resounding flop. IIRC Jon had one fitted.
It's all well and good when used for intended purpose --- but then the "powers that be" realise that they can pin point anyone at anytime, track their movements and SPEED at any given time.
I would imagine they could, if they so wished, set it up to issue NIPs automatically, 24/7 and covering every square inch of the tarmac!!!!
Driving without tax and insurance would automatically ping up on the system too (who needs ANPR?) ------ and I still say they could link it into the StarWars System and automaticallly vapourise offenders from space !!!!!!!
Sorry -- that last bit got a bit silly --- but all of the foregoing is alarmingly possible :o :o :o :o

You forgot MOT, actually sounds like a damned good idea & would keep the retards who drive untaxed, uninsured & in illegal vehicles off the road - I'd vote for that!

Insurance company though not the Stazi, I would NOT have it myself but for a 18 Y/O seems worth considering

Absolutely right HC, as certainly that has been my high speed training time, when I'm fresh out at 0300 after a good sleep, the road (M way) empty and you need some practice!
But a 25 year old, very tired a good nights raving, with a gutfull of booze, and if male, a great desire to show off.............bloody disaster beckons!! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
