All Blair does is introduce legislation that creates more money for the legal profession What do you expect, he used to be a lawyer! From THE Temple Bar no less. Oh and he is an incredibly corrupt individual - and a total liar too! A "highly paid professional liar" Which is all any lawyer is lets f...

I am not reading four pages of this but from the first post... I kind of like the idea that they get annoyed by speed cameras. Why not go work for the American Government then, they are having a whale of a time oppressing the general public, much more than in the UK with speed cameras? I bet you als...

It is the information on the signs, a lot of it is useless and dangerous to read, I mean pointless to read. Come on, if you're gonna take your eyes off the road then there must be a good enough reason. it is not a good enough reason to tell me not to drink and drive when I do not even drink ever, is...

attempting to pervert the course of justice Who? The cop sat there waiting on the edge of a 30 zone or the truckers, for signalling to each other about the cop being there? This is hilarious :D Keep it coming! But you see, I shouldn't be laughing. I know a guy whose father this happened to, he was ...

We need to change the whole culture of not trusting people. Think about which influence it is that has changed our culture into a culture where people do not trust each other. Once people can figure out what it is shaping our reality, only then can we see that hey, we should have been trusting each...

Midnight on a virtually empty motorway, and the signs flash "40". If it wasn't my own tax going towards such things I would find this very amusing but if I laughed at this I am laughing at myself for being so dumb and funding it. How can you "evolve" away from funding people who lie to us continual...

"I don't blame them for trying to prevent the cameras nicking them". I can understand people that say this, but still I disagree completely with the small fines handed out. If I were a policeman then I would not really take it as serious if there was a white van with dirty plates, if they were so b...

I think its probably company reps, because they are the only group I can think of who would not clean their car, well, for the simple fact that it isn't their car and they probably just pocket the car wash money, its not like their boss is going to see it when they are 300 miles away. This would exp...

and you or any witnesses couldn't get the registration mark because it was obscured. What if it was even more serious like a hit and run? Exactly. If the driver knows the number plate is unreadable, then he/she knows they have carte blanche to speed past any cameras they want. The only time it woul...

I saw a video where a motorcyclist puts his foot behind his number plate! What would be your fine if you had switchable plates like James Bond?? Its only a £30 fine for dirty number plates, but you can be fined £80 for swearing? What a wonderful world, wake me up when George Orwell has written his n...

It would appear drivers were safer, but the increase in risk to cyclists and pedestrians was a mirror image of the decrease for motorists, coincidence, or drivers feeling safer and taking more risks? I will attempt to explain this 'coincidence' It will be a "mirror" because there are fixed factors,...

Since the water + northern hemisphere + facing north are all evidence of these blackspots, can potential spots be predicted where maybe there are currently no signs? One person I know told me that his grandads neighborhood had a road going downhill and went right at the bottom, but directly at the b...

Is it true that cyclists have the same rights as drivers?

LeveL, some of your posts are quite thought provoking but you do seem a bit intense, you come across as a angry/grumpy old man. I'm not even 30 yet! I often find everyone reacts differently to what I say but yes, swearing and being "intense" is out of order. I guess intense in that, I bring my BS h...

A lot of people who don't smoke seem to think smokers are pests. These people have never smoked, so they cannot judge how smoking affects people: regarding the addiction. As far as banning smoking whilst driving goes, hahaha, oh yeah I can really see cops enforcing that one on the guy smoking a ciga...

There are responsible drivers, in cars like Evo's, all the time. These are not "prestigious" cars. The owners of these cars seem to drive cars like this responsibly. In any outside lane on any motorway you will see Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, Porsche, catch my drift? These are luxury cars with a pr...

No, my original point is dirty plates in ANY conditions.

It is actually winter and grit on the road that causes this,
but I am talking about DRY conditions in perfect visibility,
there are cars with plates that cannot be read. They don't
clean it off, ever.

They ALWAYS have expensive cars and believe me if I was cop they would be paying full whack for this, Just as well you ain't old bill then with an attitude like that. Your post above reads more like somebody who is pissed off that someone else can afford a car that you can't. Thanks, you're so help...

My mate got pulled for speeding at 2am on an empty motorway. He told the cop he "took advantage of the open road" and should not have done. He did get a fine but only £30 and he did not get any points for it. I guess this is the "common sense" we would all like to see in our Police? If it were 2pm a...

What is the law, if any, that states what level of visibility is acceptable for a number plate? I am talking about dirty number plates only here, NOT those with italic and calligraphy! JUST dirty plates OK! Like the time I saw a BMW 7 series with dirt covering the back number plate so much that you ...
