Also, there is a discussion forum on the Transport2000 site. Have a look at some of the comments! 
Apparently Top Gear is responsible for bad driving.

"A few months earlier the BBC was forced to apologise after the programme's team tested the durability of a truck by ramming it into a 30-year-old chestnut tree, infuriating locals in the Somerset village of Churchill."

Next thing you know, someone is gonna crash their car and blame it on Top Gear. Then it will go to court, some one will get sued, the media will crawl all over this and then the econo driving weenie public will howl in protest 'Shame on Top Gear !'
At least that is how it is usually played out in litigation happy USA.
