Top Gear under fire

I would like to know how Top Gear promotes irresponsible driving? Considering most tests seem to take place in a perfectly safe track environment surely the opposite is the case, they in fact promote safe driving by getting off of the road!

Or do this ridiculous group think that speed per se is dangerous, if so I wonder if they can explain why during the petrol crisis (in the 70's I think) that when speed limits were introduced on the autobahns the death rate actually increased?

If they want to sit next to some scruffy scrote, sniffling with germs, be transported in a vehicle that doesn't go where you want, good on them, but I want personal choice to go where I want, when I want and how I want.
