Dodgy Business
Tony Dodgins reflects on the Mosley v News of the World verdict, and how it all relates to a speeding ticket and Murray Walker...
The whole Max Mosley furore over the past few months brings back something Murray Walker said a long time ago. When asked what it was like to be a recognised public face, the veteran TV commentator replied: "You can't do anything you wouldn't be happy to read about in the paper, because if you do, as sure as eggs are eggs, you will!"
At the time there was a bit of a rumpus because Murray had allegedly said that he had driven at 80mph on a motorway when the conditions were appropriate. I think his point was that it was not speed per se that was dangerous, it was inattentive, bad driving.
