You really like to make yourself a hostage to fortune, don't you
Gollum? One would have thought you would have learned from the "Miles
Cooper was a motorist terrorist" fiasco, where you made an even bigger
arse of yourself than usual. I can only conclude that you enjoy being
humiliated and laughed at, Gollum.

I'd be interested to see what you would suggest as a way to train
police to drive at high speed.

They shouldn't be allowed cars at all , eliminating the need.
It's frivolous hypermobility and they should use a pedal cycle instead

No, no, no. In Duhg's anarchic utopia, there wouldn't BE any police.
There wouldn't be any need for them, either, because everybody would live
happily in harmony, hugging trees and fluffy bunny-rabbits.

Fluffy bunny rabbits go well in a casserole (without the fluff)

[ snip ]

Why did you do that? You got it right first time and then hopelessly wrong
the second time - in the same sentence!

A. "...tend to be treated lightly" - whether factually correct or not, that
is the correct syntax.

B. "... are treated even lighter" - wrong (it should be: "are treated even
more lightly").

It isn't you who created some of those Highways Agency gantry signs, was it?

You know the one of which I'm thinking:

"Don't Drive Tired".
