During my last tour overseas working for a EUCOM element in Germany, local military drivers would regularly shuttle us to the airport - they were limited to 200 km/h on the Autobahn. . If 'Transportation' couldn't meet requests, local taxi firms would be contracted in. On my last journey, the taxi driver reached 230 km/h!

As I've mentioned before, reduction of RAF footprint and reduction of SFA availability under NEM could result more RTW RTAs - as SP commute longer distances from their (affordable) own homes . DASA did some interesting work on this in 2006 and came up with some pretty shocking predictions - basically, double-digit fatalities expected. Should the CoC also consider offering this kit to private vehicles, thus exercising a broader duty of care?
