A call for road law change from celebrity lawyer
The man who can save a disgraced celebrity thousands on their womens car insurance has spoken out recently about UK driving laws and has told the press what he would like to see changed.
In an interview with Autotrader lawyer-to-the-stars, Nick Freeman, has called for a lower legal alcohol limit and a crackdown on middle-lane hoggers on the motorway.
Freeman, also known as "Mr Loophole" as a result of his ability to defend famous names against motoring convictions using a host of technicalities, wants to see the legal alcohol limit reduced from 80ml to 50ml.
He said, "At the current legal limit you are four times more likely to have an accident than when you have no alcohol in your system.
"How can we say four times more is OK?"
Freeman also highlighted the problems associated with middle lane drivers inciting dangerous driving behaviour from other road users and told the publication that he would like to see Britain come into line with the rest of Europe by increasing its speed limit to 80mph.
A spokesperson for CoverGirl, specialist provider of womens car insurance, said, "Some of Mr Freeman's suggested changes to UK motoring law could mean safer roads for other road users which can only be a good thing for reducing car insurance premiums nationwide."
