Prosecuting 3 (well certainly one!) well known persons for encouraging excessive speed and acceleration might also be as effective.
would you be referring to the Top Gear chaps by any chance?

also I'd end up ripping out the speaker that made the warning chimes if they couldn't be turned off as they'd do my head in
