Sir, - Can someone explain how an "expert" driver can, in a momentary lapse of concentration, accelerate from 60 m.p.h. to well over 100 m.p.h? Is the car rocket-powered? Or maybe the presumption is that we're stupid. Given how much consideration was given to the electorate's views over the O'Flaherty affair, this may be case. - Yours, etc.,
Garry Clarke, Spricklestown, The Ward, Co Dublin.
