AoWW Posted 15 October 2015 Posted 15 October 2015 I'm just disappointed that they don't seem fussed about pulling over women who're doing their make up, police need to get their priorities straight I can do my make-up ok, I find painting my toenails whilst driving more of a challenge, but still do-able.
Thracian Posted 15 October 2015 Posted 15 October 2015 Maybe those hogging the middle lane or using mobiles have also been drinking. Which is why they are hogging the middle lane or even speeding or pulling out onto a dual carriageway a fraction too early or late. Maybe they lift their leg to fart just before plougihing into a mother with a pushchair. But no it is not their fault. They have been driving for 70 years and always have a few pints on a Saturday and never been in an accident. They may have seen some with cars behind them or ahead swerving for no reason.

For a bloke who makes a lot of comment do you actually drive Rice?
Thracian Posted 15 October 2015 Posted 15 October 2015 Some interesting facts about driving stats. Young drivers clearly account for most accidents but things like mobile phones, speeding and people being distracted (by kids or by the need to read road signs, I'd imagine) are also important factors after checking various sources. As for people over 75 - most should be painlessly put to sleep. Surely the space they occupy adds to the risks, if nothing else...all those unnecessary obstacles while people are trying to read road signs or get into work on time. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs358/en/

Unabomber Posted 15 October 2015 Posted 15 October 2015 Nice gone up to quoting 3 of the same post. Bloody drunken post hoggers get off our forums!

(Just once will do.) And the posts where people have claimed that all old people are a nuisance? (Not the flippant ones, I want to see the serious posts you think you're responding to.) I'd say I'll wait but nobody has infinite time to waste.

I'd say I'll wait but nobody has infinite time to waste. The stats I read suggested the over 75's were the second most involved group where accidents were concerned - after young drivers. You can't put young drivers to sleep - they're only just waking up! None of the stats said any group actually caused the accidents although that was the clear suggestion. Stats - some worldwide - included both English and US compilations.
Thracian Posted 15 October 2015 Posted 15 October 2015 If the driver has awareness then they're not going to get prosecuted for speeding as they'll notice and realise that the vehicle following them closely behind is a police car, thus slow down. If you're speeding with a police car behind you for miles then you've only got yourself to blame for not having the awareness to realise a police car is behind you and you're speeding. Thanks for the tip!
AoWW Posted 15 October 2015 Posted 15 October 2015 You live in Norfolk. Your toenails could be growing anywhere I've just got so many of them. And the webbed feet make it even trickier!
Thracian Posted 15 October 2015 Posted 15 October 2015 Some absolutely top trolling from Tony in here. Fair play, sir, you've not lost your touch.

Salieri Posted 15 October 2015 Posted 15 October 2015 You remind me of George Orwell's 1984 where everyone's equal but some are more equal than others. Animal Farm innit.

As a hypocrite he's an artform. As a **** he doesn't have the necessary depth! I hope life's being good to you.
Vardinhio Posted 16 October 2015 Posted 16 October 2015 They seem to do very little about mobiles, tiredness, centre-lane hoggers, people who can't read the road signs, people using borrowed cars without a licence or insurance. Their focus is firmly on drink yet there seems to be far more who fall into the other categories. Indeed there's hardly a day I don't see some a dozen idiots driving with a mobile to their ear, men and women and with noticeable effect on their driving. What do you define as very little? By the way I'm sure we see far more people on phones than the police would in their marked cars, they are lit up like a beacon.
Rincewind Posted 16 October 2015 Posted 16 October 2015 For a bloke who makes a lot of comment do you actually drive Rice? I've been a passenger plenty of times. OK I do not have the experience of driving but as a passenger you can also be aware of other road users. I also know that there are many actions and distractions that can affect awareness in all walks of life. If you are tired or have had a few drinks you should not operate machinery at work I think most people in work. In fact being drunk in quite a few jobs is a sackable act. (MP's aside) I would say handling a machine is similar. There a lot of things drivers do that one would call bad habits. Eating, drinking water squash, talking to kids in back, retuning radio head banging to Bohemian Rhapsody and getting a BJ to name a few. We cannot stop them all but isn't it best to reduce the risk factor as much as possible? I am just agreeing with most of the others on here who do drive and some that work with the emergency services who no doubt have seen the result that driving at full awareness can bring. It is only common sense.

Using average calculations. I was not a d1ck about it so had a chat with them about it. They do it all the time.

Or am I missing something?
