[Sir Tigger KC]

There are proposals afoot to allow Local Authorities to give permission for motor racing on public roads which currently requires an Act of Parliament.

So next time you see the local yoot holding a banger race on your estate it might well be all above board!

I think that is actually going to be a good thing.

Good for rallying. Good for hillclimbs.

good for local economy

That article made it clear that it is currently illegal to hold races and/or speed trials on public roads, so how come cyclists routinely get away with doing just that?
It's only fair that we as motorists should be allowed to do likewise - including driving on pavements, jumping red lights and other abuses.......

The A10 running through Enfield in North London already has road races, unofficially 

My favourite is Neanderthal White Van Man Vs Infantile Turbonutter in hatchback

On reading your post Tig, I thought, aye up. Bernie at work again.

On reading the link. Yep. Bernie at work again.

Cameron's back pocket must be heavy enough to pull him over backwards. While Bernie writes off another gift expense to keep his tax bill down. Everyone's happy

I can see it now, nice dual road, a 3.2 Mig and an MX5, side by side, and they are off......

Oh how we laugh when the MX5 wins (Fact)..........
