New Transport Minister
Is:
Richard Graham
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_G ... olitician)
Graham successfully campaigned for stronger dangerous driving sentencing laws in 2013 for those driving uninsured and under the influence of alcohol. In July 2015, he was banned from driving for six months at Stroud Magistrates Court after he was caught driving at 90 mph in a 70 mph speed limit on the A417 near Cirencester, in the Cotswolds on 14 December 2014. He already had nine points on his licence at the time so faced automatic disqualification. He was fined £525 with £85 costs and a £53 victim surcharge. Consequently, he also had a road safety award withdrawn which he received from the charity Brake in January 2015.

Re: New Transport Minister
Just more proof the country's going to the dogs, an Eton and Oxbridge man who doesn't have a chauffeur? Disgraceful.

Re: New Transport Minister
Having ridden in a Blower Bentley, the chauffur was probably scared witless. I was, and I was an imortal teenager at the time.

Presumably a bunch of 3 pointers as the report at the time said: "nine penalty points on his licence from earlier motoring offences in the previous three years"...
