But that ist photo of a bike race going pear shape
I know. It just looks like a bunch of blokes lying underneath motorbikes, doesn't it! But it was an interesting shot of a "pile-up" because it shows it can happen to anyone. I'm sorry I've pissed off our friend, RobinXe, but I don't think he gets the thrust of it. My proposition is that roads are like crowds, and are this subjected to crowd controls in the same way that crowds are. Without "crowd controls" of some kind (either external or otherwise, TBD), history shows that pile-ups are inevitable. That is my case, and I don't hear anything that puts a dent in it, yet.
BUT Liebchen.. they not "inevitable"
Germany does not have that many on the derestircts in reality. Their problem ist in East und Rhein/Ruhr network which are limited und very dense in volume.
But if you use COAST.. are aware of traffic ahead .. behind in distance und in proximity. .,. you are more equipped to avoid conflicts.
Ach.. ja .. you only have to see a stampede of wild animals fleeing a danger or be aware of disasters like Hillsborough to know what happen when a crowd surge. (at very LOW speed und this not undermining what happen at that match. Cousin Jess was just an assistant teacher at time. Her school lost two boys und their fathers at the time... she say pins could be heard to drop in school such was the shock of it all.)
But what we saying ist that if we promote COAST more... have more police presence out there as visible.. we not need speed cams und we reduce accidents out there.
It about education.. educating to common sense und steady calm values.
Ach .. sure .. I foster kids. IG ist BiB und there are plenty of teachers und police und lawyers in family. We KNOW there ist hardcore who cannot be taught.. will not ever learn und will end up either in jail or dead
They may TWOC.. obtain licence by some fluke.. ride a bicycle.. jay walk or rather aggressively "moon walk whilst drunk of drugged senseless"
Some call it "Darwinism"
We call it "wasted l stupid life und wasted by the truly stupid too "
With our fosters though/ .. we prove that pleasant discipline .. sense of fun.. but STILL FIRM does actually work und command respect eventually. Our fosters? We do take in the easy ones for sure.. but usually we have the harder core.. released from youth detention.. problems which no one else will touch. But ...ach ja we had one- ,ay be two complete fail over the years .. but touching wood here.. we do manage to steer back to decent -ish overall.
Why we do? Ist rewarding to us und we rather like und TRUST children anyway.
Maybe perhaps ..
I hit nerve. We don't trust or we show fear when we walk past these kids. Fear.. dogs smell this und attack/ I think these kids also sense as ferals.
Ist an aside comment. If mods und Claire think fit. ..Do paste und split for a right
of discussion in
I sorry if I taking thread somewhere else here..
