Stephen Ladyman is Labour's roads safety minister. He's been dropped by the organisers of the launch of National Road Safety Week, since he made comments saying that Richard Hammond was an "adventurer" and that Top Gear doesn't encourage speeding amongst young men. Turns out that Ladyman has been caught three times by speed cameras and once had nine points on his licence.
I think that the BBC, as a responsible employer, shouldn't allow its employees to drive at 100 mph, let alone 300 mph, as part of programme production. The BBC receives a huge whack of license fee to avoid the need to chase ratings, so why do they chase ratings by having ever-more extravagant stunts on Top Gear?
