A Wise Man (once sat next to him)
About time in my humble opinion.

The Government is to start trials of the proposed 80mph national speed limit, road safety minister Stephen Hammond has confirmed.
Three sites have already been chosen to test out the raised limit, and if successful it could be introduced nationwide.

The announcement comes nearly two years after the Government first tabled the proposed changes back in 2011, but speaking to Auto Express magazine, Mr Hammond stated that the plans were very much ready to go.
"It is not dead. We are thinking about it. We are thinking about how we could trial it rather than go to a consultation," he said.
"It would be important to have a good evidence-based trial."
Mr Hammond went on to confirm that the speed trials could take place during 2014.
