Apologies if this is seen as re-opening old wounds, but having just been browsing through JetBlast one particular thread caught my eye. It's the one called "Hire Cars", and there's a comment in jocular vein about someone who, while zooming across Dartmoor, ended up with something bovine embedded in the bonnet.
As I shall shortly be returning to live in that area after 3 years in Borneo, and my 7 year old son will be walking along one of those lanes to get to school each day, may I state here that if the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary wish to use helicopters (or hot-air balloons, UAVs, Concorde or even the bloody Space Shuttle...) to track down and stop high speed driving around that part of Dartmoor, I shall not begrudge one penny paid to them in tax for the purpose of doing so. Even though the drivers concerned are, as was mentioned in a previous post, no more likely to riot or rob than I am to get a w*** off the Pope, they are still carrying out a criminal act in a lethal piece of machinery.
