Title: Road safety
Post by: Chris_H on 19 June 2009, 14:08:06
I just browsed down a report of Lewis Hamilton attending an FIA road safety campaign launch at the Houses of Parliament.

http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2009/6/9505.html

Lewis Quote: "When you're on a circuit, the target is to be as fast as you can - but away from a circuit, on the roads, it's all about safety."

Wow.  No talk about actually getting there then?  Or enjoying the view if it's a pleasure drive?

Lacking a sense of balance and compromise but could explain the current legislation and enforcement. :o

There is some lovely scenery around Yorkshire, as I'm sure you are aware. I like to look at my surroundings as I footle along in my meriva.

Drawback: The insurance company has threatened to withdraw my cover if I crash one more time :(
