In recognition of the importance of readers' contributions to the letters page, the newspaper each week selects a Letter of the Week, with a book prize courtesy of Longacre Press. This week's winner is Mary Robertson, of Ocean View, for her letter advocating cars belonging to drunk drivers be crushed rather than boy racers' cars. She receives a copy of Vanished (Random House), by Liza Marklund.
Crushing boy racer cars is pointless.
I don't think a single person has been harmed by a car skidding its wheels on the road. A law crushing recidivist drunk drivers' cars would make more sense. Three strikes and they are out.
That would save lives. I, personally, find news footage of an MP standing on a young boy's crushed car very offensive.
