On the Briggs matter, I'm sure he's had a pretty awful last couple of weeks but I'm not sure it would have been the first thing on my list to do in 2018...
I suspect your question was rhetorical, but the road.cc news blog already has your answer:

I wish the Govt would get on with the general review of road traffic laws that was promised (how many years ago now...?)
