You know how there are people in life whose actions you don't understand - murders, rapists, paedophiles, people who want to pick a fight and hurt the innocent for no apparent reason? And you know how you meet well meaning but really stupid people too? Well, these people also drive of course.

Now then, does anyone imagine for one moment that their personality changes when they get behind the wheel? (Rhetorical)

So then, I hope we are agreed that these very same personalities are a problem on our roads just as they are a problem elsewhere in life. The difference is, they are not singled out on the road from the rest of us by the use of speed cameras and so the dolphins get caught with the sharks - it's that simple.

As Rigpig might say - a personality detector, that would be really useful

5 posts in and you think you are in a position to tell me which points I'm ignoring and missing :roll:


I can't tell if you're being serious, as this is such a ridiculous thing to say. Even so, if you are...

Just because I have only made 5 posts doesn't mean I haven't been reading the forum for a fair old while, does it? Even if I was brand new today, it still wouldn't mean I'm not capable of reading one thread and realising it is abundantly clear just which points you're choosing to ignore or completely mis-interpret.

What you're saying is the same of saying a manager can't start a new job and realise within 5 days (5 posts) which workers are slacking, who needs to be fired, and who is doing a top job.

<Edit> Forget it, I've wasted far too many hours of my life patiently and painstakingly (and usually politely) explaining myself in here.
Welcome to the forum, you are in good company; most of the others don't cross question anything Paul says either.

You're right actually. I for one am only against cameras because Paul is. :P
