Spot on. She's a newbie in the commons, and hitting out at an obscure minority is always a good one if you want to make yourselves heard. She goes back to 2007 to find an example in order to prove her point - and it sounds odd enough. If there is one Highway Code that applies to all, I do not see how they could possibly fit in extra measures that only apply to a specific part of road users. Jumping a red light is already an offense.
"Now, at least in built-up areas, one stereotype, rightly or wrongly, is of well-paid men in expensive leisurewear with a sense of entitlement and a refusal to conform to the same rules as everyone else."
Priceless.
