I like that in this country cars stop even before I step on zebra crossing - this is a very good thing, I do the same when I drive, but young tw@ts who have no idea about consequences of bad driving should really get mandatory jail sentence for bad driving: I think statistically 25% of all deaths on the road come from young drivers group. IMO, driving licenses should be given to people over 21.Comment

Originally posted by AtW View PostNo, no test required, but if they make a single mistake then they go to jail for at least a year.

Surely a car is only a danger when it's moving. Cars not moving do not tend to kill people. So if you drive everywhere as fast as possible you reduce the time your car is moving and so reduce the chance of running somebody over.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Frankly I am not an angel when it comes to speeding but I have really cracked down on it and now drive very carefully even when it is empty road, you never know what can happen, for most people driving a 1.5 ton car is the biggest weapons they will ever get so they should approach it with great caution.
Case in point - 30 mph speed limits are the for a reason, if people speed on them 40 mph then it might be very hard to pull from sideroad into the mainroad simply because people drive way too fast for the road, this is seriously annoying and disrupts traffic flow.Comment
