That's hardly a valid comparison. Aircraft instruments are there to assist the pilot to fly the aircraft safely. Speedometers serve no other purpose than to assist the driver to comply with the law. -- Rob

Go on, provide the names of the individuals who are buried in the same graveyard to the exclusion of any further burials, who have been killed in traffic accidents as a direct consequence of Paul Smith's argument that speed cameras do not achieve their stated objective. Just one graveyard full will do, I won't even hold you to your plural.

You've got no chance - he hasn't even managed to come up with one (singular) burial which fits his description. I am starting to think that spindrift prefers to run away from debate and simply ignores any awkward questions or requests. Odd, that.

Especially odd since he and some of his lycra-louts were insisting that Paul Smith ran away from "debate" with spindrift. I would imagine if the performance here is anything to go by Smith killfiled spindrift as a waste of electrons.
