Zero tolerance for speeding just one mile over the limit?
Is it time to rethink how we prosecute speeders? Leading traffic police chief says drivers should be punished for going just one mph over the speed limit. Edited since transmission.
Is it time to rethink how we prosecute speeders? One of Britain's leading traffic police chiefs says drivers should be punished for going just one mile an hour over the speed limit. Plus on the show this morning a number of people contacted the programme concerned about the amount of potholes causing problems for motorists in their area. Including one caller who described one pothole as being that large it required two safety cones to fill it!
And is it time for a Troubles Museum in Northern Ireland? That's the suggestion in an article in the Belfast Telegraph. It says "If Northern Ireland is known for two things internationally, these are the two Ts: the Titanic and the Troubles. One is now represented by a magnificent visitor attraction, Titanic Belfast. The case for a second major visitor attraction, put forward by the Belfast Chamber of Commerce some two years ago, is a compelling one. The obvious candidate is a National Museum of the Troubles." So what do you think? Are we ready for something like that?

Is it time to rethink how we prosecute speeders?
One of Britain's leading traffic police chiefs says drivers should be punished for going just one mile an hour over the speed limit.
Chief Constable, Anthony Bangham -- the lead officer on road policing for the National Police Chiefs Council -- is calling for an end to giving motorists a 10% leeway on speed limits.
We spoke about this last year regarding the rules here being 10% of the speed limit - plus 2 miles per hour.
Potholes
On the show this morning a number of people contacted the programme concerned about the amount of potholes causing problems for motorists in their area. Including one caller who described one pothole as being that large it required two safety cones to fill it!
Troubles Museum
