Authors Preface: In this book I have endeavored to provide adequate survey of a sport which has undergone rapid growth of popularity in Britain in the Recent years (1950) To those who are not technical experts, but who are keenly interested in the hard test of workmanship for the car and skill for the driver that motor road racing affords, this book is dedicated. At every British meeting these people for the hard core of the spectators, yet, too often, only the experts are catered for in motor racing literature. --- John Dudley

Drivers caught speeding are now more likely to take a driver education course than accept points on their licence, according to the latest government statistics. 953,428 motorists took a speed awareness course last year – a hefty increase over the 500,000 that took part in 2010. New so-called ‘stealth’ speed cameras: don’t panic “Black box” drivers hit by speeding fines from insurers This is partly down to the rise in speeding fines from £60 to £100 – taking a speeding awareness course usually costs around £85 (depending on the area), which means it’s now less rather than more than the cost of a fine.
