Yes, I'm afraid that you do. What you say means that public transport
systems have higher standards... and if that white van that caused the
accident was traced to some Islamist I suspect we'd be seeing the tape
on Sky news every night, it would have been sent to NASA for image
enhancement weeks ago.

You have a problem with that too. Not a motorway thing, but indicative
of police procedures. Shopkeepers around Stoneleigh/Ewell/Epsom will
tell you that even when video is known to exist the police won't look
at it themselves or release it to the victims of petty crime. These
guys sit on the pot...
