The "Nanny State" Gone COMPLETELY Amok....

WTF?!

Seriously?

Speed cameras…toll roads…entry fees…and now this? You will all be walking soon…or forced to used transportation provided by your Overlords.

Insanity… :crazy:

I am actually seriously looking at ‘exit strategies’ to another country if it gets much worse.

they want to turn us all into compliant zombies - as above - time to consider moving. . .

the poxy gov wanting to run our lives, nothing new.

do i use 2 or 4 squares when i go for a shite, i cant find a eu directive than covers this,yet

Is there anything in this country that we CAN do??

You watch, we wont be even able to have that game of rounders in the summer because we havent conducted a full health and safety assesment on it.

Yea, perhaps we should all move to the States rather than opposing it.

still won’t stop blondes in Mini sports pulling out on you… happened 3 times today. they are like clones of eachother… all black mini s… sigh

I teach a gym class at a uni and nearly got sacked for taking the class to the park to play rounders last summer.

Yes, uni, so everyone is over 18. Yes, they are allowed to go to the park during lunch/free periods. Yes, so am I…but one it turns one minute past, it’s against health and safety.

do you not realise the dangers of such violence, especially in a public place, shame on you:P

Well…I for one won’t be fitting one of those things if it happens. Instead I’ll stand up and fight against it. I’m sick of certain ‘groups’ getting what they want cos they stand up and moan loud enough…but in this instance I think I’ll take a leaf out of their book and start shouting!!

I can see pros and cons points for this. Allow me to explain before I get shot for this!

Pros.

No stupid racers on busy urban streets.

Fewer people killed due to speeding drivers.

No more speeding fines/points on licence

Cons.

Unable to put your foot down to get you out of trouble.

Installation costs

Resale value of a vehicle fitted with it.

I’ve spent time in Oman - out there, all cars are fitted with a very annoying alarm, (bit like when you leave the lights on in your car) which goes off if you exceed the national speed limit until you drop back below that speed. It does work.

and there’s the crux - by having this fitted you are no longer in full control of your own vehicle. Which is wrong - there are times where slamming on full throttle could save your life, but you won’t be able to.

People with modern cars can’t drive anyway, as so much of the driving is done for them by the car. auto lights that come on in the dark, wipers than start up when it’s raining etc. The more basic the car, the more the driver knows how it works etc. Obv I’m biased tho, cause my car has no mod cons :slight_smile:

My motor’s got auto wipers, lights ect. At first I thought they were great, but after a while, I’ve them back to ‘manual’. Because they do what THEY want, not what and when I want them to.

Isn’t there something in the Road Traffic laws about being in full control of your vehicle? I wonder what the rozzers think of this idea?

Love the way they put the ‘cutting CO2 emissions’ down as a primary reason other than safety…

Maybe that’s cos actually they know that making people go slow everywhere would have no effect on safety whatever…

Apparently so.

Baa, baa, baa. I am but a sheep.

My question is who are these people and where do they get their money from to write such drivel? If everybody drove at 10mph with a man carrying a flag in front of them there would be much less accidents. Heaven knows there are going to be enough unemployed people to work as flag carriers soon.
