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)

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".

Are the 'Tired' was that not a Russian truck in the 60's?

In Dzhugs. vegan utopia there would not be any bunny rabbits or lambs
or any other cute animals, they would all be banned because the land
would be used to grow food. However once they realise that the foxes
no longer have any food, they would start rioting.

No idea, but I well remember their Moskovich cars from about that 
period. They got banned from the roads here after some government 
department did tests on them and found that they all had a braking 
defect which caused them all to veer away from a straight line under 
braking.

I did one journey, from London to Sussex, in a Triumph Herald with a seized 
front brake drum that drove like that. I had to stay behind lorries, as they 
were the only things that didn't out-brake me.
