I guess they are starting out even younger............ "Texas police were startled after they chased a pickup truck at speeds up to 85 mph – only to find out that a 10-year-old boy was behind the wheel." 10-year-old boy leads Texas police on high-speed chase.

Senate Panel Approves Legislation That Would Put a Hell of A Lot More Self-Driving Cars on US Roads The US Senate Commerce Committee has unanimously approved a bill that would prevent states from creating laws that regulate development and performance of self-driving cars and help put more autonomous vehicles on public roads. |

Looks like those school buses are a real lot stronger than SUV's. |

Took long enough It needs to be done. Its a pity that it's after the event rather than an increase in traffic police to discourage people from taking risks in the first place. The line that caught my attention was A new offence of causing serious injury through careless driving is also to be created. I have never understood why if someone does not die the offender seems to get away with nothing worse than a slapped wrist. I was involved in a serious accident and 6 months later watched the person that caused the accident walk out of court having been given 6 points and a £200 fine. I had my licences medically revoked and it took 20 months and a disability assessment to regain my car and bike licences and a further 10 months with a major argument and threats to take DVLA to court to regain my HGV licences. (DVLA wanted to keep my HGV licences for a minimum of 7 years) The reason given for my restrictions by DVLA was an "increased epilepsy risk" due to the head injury I had received. (fractured skull with an acute subdural haematoma) YES the penalties given out by DVLA for being injured are way more severe than those given by the courts for causing the accidents. Kevin |
