SEVERAL high-profile politicians have come a cropper recently after being caught exceeding the speed limit and/or using mobile phones while driving.
Why do more millionaire businessmen, politicians, film stars and premiership footballers not do the obvious and employ chauffeurs?
That way they can use their phones and electrical gadgets in the back seat and let the driver do what he is good at and drive.
They would also be helping to reduce the number of unemployed drivers.
