Wink New punishments for motorists

Following the Government's recent proposal to add a five pound "victims'
fund" surcharge to speeding fines, evidence is emerging of another, even
more radical scheme to punish motorists. Under a top secret programme
being developed inside Downing Street, all drivers convicted of speeding
would be required to hand over the shirt off their back, which would be
used to clothe low income families or other people whose personal
misfortune has absolutely no f*****g connection whatsoever with doing
64mph in a national speed limit zone.

'Drivers must be punished for everything,' noted one senior Whitehall
insider. 'Even things they haven't done. That's why the Prime Minister and
the Home Secretary are considering another radical proposal to help our
hospitals which will again be supported by the motorist who will pay for
the crime of even owning a car, never mind actually daring to drive it
anywhere, by surrendering a pound of their own flesh'.

'Jesus, the sooner we get that media manipulating, jug faced, lying t**t
Blair out of office the better,' said everyone in Britain, yesterday

they only do it because very few of these poncy stuck t*ats actually drive anywhere themselves. they are FAR TOO IMPORTANT and f*cking lazy to do anything for themselves. at the end of the day they see it as "doesnt affect me cos i have a chauffeur, so bollox to joe shmo. mmmm......how much of a pay rise should i give myself this year?"


proper Bo!!!!!

im not looking to start an argument but...

the rules of our roads are based on cars from then,"1970's the time of the ac cobra" and the rules were correct then, I dont believe for one mili second they should still stand now for the vehicle of today, the fact is that most vehicles nowadays have 3 times the stopping power of any vehicle at the time of those particular laws being issued.

just a thought....?

IIRC the Cobra was renowned for going from 0-100-0 in 10 sconds flat. Still not many cars about today that can do that
