    A council vehicle tracking system has recorded nearly 60,000 cases of speeding over four years but no staff have been disciplined or prosecuted.
    Dumfries and Galloway Council fitted the equipment in pool cars and other vehicles in 2010.
    Since then it has tracked thousands of incidents of the limit being broken by at least 10%, including a vehicle going at 95mph on the A74(M) near Moffat.
    The council said it sent out warning emails but took no further action.

    You'd think that there would be a liability with the council to deal with this. Imagine if it was 60,000 cases of any other offence (taking a bribe to swing some mandatory repair work?)

    Council and government vehicles should be fitted with speed limiters. Lots of private employers do it with their fleets.
