is convinced the fixed-penalty scheme in the UK can work just as well as those on the Continent.
"It's a very good idea, and it seems to work in places such as France and Germany.
"It will probably benefit UK road transport because, at the moment, there are all these foreign drivers running amok with all the laws here, whereas our guys get penalised.
