The speed demons and risk addicts over at Top Gear are stirring up trouble again. This time, they are being accused of “leaving scars across the Makgadikgadi salt pans in Botswana, Africa. Conservationists claim that the tracks left by the vehicles could remain for decades. There is also worry that the Top Gear people are setting bad examples for others to follow suit and race all over prohibited conservation areas. Apparently, this isn’t the first time Top Gear is being accused of ruining nature. In 2004, the programme took a 4x4 vehicle a mountain in Scotland, causing substantial ecological damage. And of course, let’s not forget the injured co-host Richard Hammond who crashed while driving a jet-powered car at speeds up to 300mph last September. Despite the hardcore fans of Top Gear, many audiences disagree with the violent driving nature they suggest and ask the program to “cool it.”
