Iran dangerous drivers to get 74 lashes!
Iran's answer to dangerous drivers: flog them


Dangerous drivers in Iran face being flogged under a tough new law that comes into effect next month.

Traffic chiefs hope the draconian measures will help reduce the bloodshed on Iran's highways, which are among the world's most dangerous.

Road accidents have claimed at least 100,000 lives in the past five years.

Drivers who commit dangerous acts will be referred to court for harming public order and the court can sentence violators to three months to a year in jail or 74 lashes," said Iran's traffic police chief, Mohammad Rouyanian.

Maybe soon a popular traffic solution in London's Congestion Charge Zone!

1. With that many lashes,
they probably can't see to drive. Maybe they should go with LESS lashes, not more.

Okay, bad joke, I know, but still...
