British spies getting licensed to drive fast with impunity in the name of national security

British spies are to be given a “licence to speed”, allowing the likes of James Bond to drive fast with impunity in the name of national security.

Transport minister Robert Goodwill was to announce the motoring law changes on Monday, which will hand spooks the same exemption as the police, fire service and ambulance drivers.

Officers in the MI5 and MI6 domestic and foreign intelligence agencies will be able to break the speed limit on surveillance and covert operations once they have completed a training course in high-speed driving.

A government ministry source was quoted in newspapers Sunday as saying: “This is a good, common-sense move that will apply to people who perform vital services in difficult circumstances. It will help save lives and make Britain a more secure place.”

1. So when stopped by the police

or in receipt of a ticket from as speed camera reply "the name is Bond - James Bond" and carry a Hammond B3 in the boot for extra cover.

3. "I don't care if you are an ornithologist! You were going 30 mph too fast!"

2. So when somebody passes you

at high speed you'll know he's a spy.

Only real spies let everybody know they're a spy.
