I lifted some of this post from another forum, but in essence it is something that I have witnessed on this forum where I am amazed by the number of contributors who justify breaking the law when it concerns driving, but get really uppity when a “toerag” tries to steal their car. It seems a strange state of affairs on a forum where the mods are pretty scared of libel and will nuke a post for safety.

 

• Speed cameras = evil machines that catch innocent people exceeding the speed limit.

• Unmarked Police Cars = shouldn’t be allowed because they can catch people breaking speed limits.

• Speed limits = ridiculous attempts to stop people who get up late getting to work on time.

• Double Yellow lines = How dare someone tell us we cannot park in such a way as to create a danger.

• Use of Mobiles whilst Driving = the nanny state stopping me from doing something which is now considered essential.

• Eating whilst driving = petty attempt by police to alienate the whole of society.

 

For goodness sake get real..........the law is there, if you break, it you get fined or worse. If you don't like it contact someone who can action change, but don't keep bleating on, on here about how some poor innocent got caught, and how it is victimisation etc etc.

 

Abuse of Highway Laws is now so regular that it seems the only time they are obeyed is whilst we are learning to drive!! If the police stopped every offender there would hardly be a car moving on the roads.

 

Now I'm no good guy in this aspect either, I certainly don't always stick to 70 mph or the posted speed limit on the road either - but I accept that in breaking the law, I am taking a risk and if caught am willing to accept the penalty, it sometimes seems on here that it is possible to pick and choose which law of the land they shall obey.

Smoking tax doesnt help the NHS? like bolox it doesnt!

 

We have never had and do not currently have hypothecated tax in this country. Therefore, smokers do not help the NHS and Road Fund License payers do not contribute to road maintenance, despite the name.
