The Sunday Times reports:
"New road safety minister was fined three times for speedingDipesh Gadher, Transport Correspondent
Sunday Times, 15 May 2005THE government’s new road safety minister came close to being disqualified from driving after he was caught speeding three times within three years.
Stephen Ladyman, who was appointed last week, has admitted that at one stage he had accumulated nine penalty points on his driving licence. If he had been caught speeding for a fourth time — adding a further three points — he would have faced an automatic ban.
Ladyman, who is deputy to Alistair Darling, the transport secretary, oversees roads policy and is tasked with ensuring the safe passage of a road safety bill through parliament. The bill, which ran out of time before the general election was called, will be reintroduced in the Queen’s speech this week."
What a fine example our NuLabour political leaders are setting for the rest of us !
