reported in CM 3-9 August (Dave Longman/cruise control/ cellular telephone) was meant as a joke.
If not, when will his licence be revoked? The man is a danger to all road users. Who with any sense at all would use a car phone while travelling at 70mph, out of control, with cruise-control stuck and burntout brakes on a motorway? Only a total retard.
