Bollocks they do. People dick about in cars ALL the time. YouTube is full of people acting like knobheads in cars and getting away with it.

I know Cambridge really well and I know people that regularly race their cars on the A14 at night.

Do you really think all the people buying tuning kits are doing so because they like sticking to the speed limit?

When it comes to obeying traffic lights you won't be waiting long to see cars tailgating through amber. That happens every time.

Finally I'd point to the number of drivers still on the road with more than 12 points on their licence. They just plead extenuating circumstances in court and get away with it. They almost never find themselves in gaol. The real kicker is that those that do end up in prison on a Dangerous Driving charge never permanently loose their licenses.
