This sounds a bit over complicated

Reserving a lane for car sharers and charging those who use them without passengers.

and what's to stop anyone just planting a full-size dummy on the front passenger seat?

Seriously, how could a roadside camera, or even a casual glance by a copper, possibly tell it apart from a genuine passenger?

Sasguru do you fancy a once a week trip to Bristol

it seems its Ruth Kellys idea again...

Er, Miss Kelly ... own idea ... does not compute

The lady is an idiot, a patronising one at that. One of the few politicians I really really really dislike, a lot.

I wish she would take time out to spend with her family.

If that's what a thermal camera is then yep.

But then we'd have the deluxe dummies that mimic human body temperatures. Come to think of it that sort of dummy could be multiple uses.

Maybe an idea for Thermos and their novelty flasks.

I'd pay a pretty Eastern European girl (min wage) to sit next to me on every journey.

Yes, I'd also be in favour of banning cars from doing under 65 unless in emergencies.

I'd vote for that. If they can't get to 70 by the end of a slip-road they shouldn't be allowed on.

A plus point would be that all those caravaners would have to stick to the scenic A roads instead.

Anyway, the IR camera might not pick her up if her head is in your lap
