More proof of Them and Us

[DrFilth]

if it was ever needed, if this person was on a bike he would probably be in jail and his bike would have been confiscated and crushed

one for the rich one for the working class

money man gets to keep his car once his short ban is up

More proof - salary increases average over 30% for FTSE 100 Chief Executives last year.

[DrFilth]

why was his car not confiscated and crushed like they do with the bikers that end up in court

[fliptheswitch]

What a plonker!!

Hang on.... "pensioner", "jag"?? It's not Kn0bby, is it? :P

I agree, DrFilth, he got off WAY too lightly.

[DrFilth]

we should all get the same punishment

i was nearly thinking of joining the masons tonight, one can't afford to have ones machine crushed these days

[fliptheswitch]

>i was nearly thinking of joining the masons tonight

Surely you cannot be serious?!!!

[DrFilth]

then i had to think would the hells angels let a mason join :)

[fliptheswitch]

You're a hells angel??

[missprim]

Going to show my complete ignorance here but why are cars deigned to be driven at high speeds when we have speed restrictions on our roads?

[fliptheswitch]

Missprim, with regards to your question... I have no idea. It's ridiculous, really, and asking for trouble. We all have to stick to the same speed limit, so what's the point?? Probably a case of "boys and their toys", I guess.
On another note, whilst you're here, have you stopped your obsession with Markrae now? I saw your posts, though did not respond, and wondered what the flump they were all about???

[Gromit]

What is the matter.
He wasn't driving the wrong way up the carriageway like most 67 year olds.
Further proof that a compulsary resit of the driving test every 5 years after you reach the age of 60 should come in immediately.

[fliptheswitch]

Gromit,

>What is the matter.

Seriously???

[birdie1971]

Are you suggesting that a motorcyclist caught doing this speed would have his bike confiscated and crushed?

As an ex-cop I have never heard of this other than when a motorcycle is ceased due to the rider having no insurance. If the bike is not reclaimed within a set time period, then it is more often than not sold at auction. Sometimes they are sent away to a breaker's yard to be dismantled or crushed.

I fail to see why you think that a motorcyclist caught in this exact same scenario would have his bike ceased and crushed whilst a car driver (rich or otherwise) would be allowed to go on his merry way. As far as I can see, this has nothing whatsoever to do with '… one [law] for the rich one for the working class...”.

Please enlighten me.

[missprim]

No obsession flip was just a bit annoyed with him but as always I over react.
I would have been more concerned about the other thread that was put on that was somehing like 'Who is MarkRae'
I didn't contribute to that as I felt that was most unfair.
Hope he has no hard feelings towards me
I think I need to go to anger management : -)

[fliptheswitch]

Missprim, Lol.
It just seemed everyone was going "markRae" mad that day! :-)
But no, no problem. We all over-react sometimes.
As for anger management, hahaha :D It's easy to get annoyed on here.
I don't think, for one minute, Marco has an issue with you. I'm sure it went completely over his head.
In fact, I know it made him laugh... so no worries :-) x

[missprim]

Good to hear that flip. regards to Mark.

[fliptheswitch]

:-)

Vehicles are not confiscated and crushed as a matter of course, they may be confiscated and sold at auction if unclaimed. They are only crushed if they are close to scrap anyway.

[rov1100]

All those years of driving must have given him his experience. I could never drive that fast without an accident.

[sandyRoe]

He seems to be a proper toff. Should the same laws be applied to them as apply to us grubby oiks?

[jno]

funny old world, innit.

But then as someone said, if Anthony Worrall Thompson was 20 years old and black would he be out "seeking help" today?
