Forum topic: Yet more shocking driving in PG

When will speed controls and traffic light offences be implemented?
It is a wild west rodeo out there!

That is the third time I have seen a car wrapped around that traffic island outside the Fox pub. The people driving the cars are not necessarily rich and are more likely to be young (18-21) drivers who have bought the cars using lease-financing which is cheaper than loans. They don't own the cars at the end of the term but what they are doing is all about status. Nearly all are male and live at home and cannot afford to buy their own property so the next best thing is a buy a car with a lease-deal and then start showing off to their friends. Just visit the Salisbury pub in Winchmore Hill on a Friday or Saturday night to see the results on show or the car meets up and down the borough (many of which have fortunately been banned) or hear the racing up and down the A10. It was lucky there wasn't a fatality involved in this crash. The cost of insurance is obviously not deterring them either. I think they only way it can change is if the leasing companies make the rules stricter such as minimum age restrictions for cars above a certain engine size or speed or fit black boxes. Any thoughts?
