Forget the rings, check that reg

I call fake.
that reg belongs to a black 2 litre merc.

“We understand that most tailgating is unintentional by drivers who are simply unaware they are dangerously invading someone else’s space. But not leaving enough space between you and the vehicle in front can be very frightening and intimidating — it could also prove fatal.”

Horseshit. These wankers know what they're doing, and if they don't then they should be banned anyway for not knowing how to drive. Vans with their headlights on full beam are the worst, they're basically forcing you to drive half blind.

My commute involves a long rural road with no overtaking opportunities. If someone tailgates me I will slow to a crawl and waste a measurable chunk of their day.

Drivers in UK who kill someone get a ban for a few years. Whereas in Norway, drive stupidly and get a life ban Petter Northug, Norway cross-country skiing champion, to be jailed

 

[T & P]

We could reach a compromise and allow tailgating on the middle lane of motorways only, to deal with middle lane hoggers...

That‘s the hot question.

Anyway, now I’ve got a Spanish licence I am allowed to drive like a twat, and to park anywhere I like as long as I have the hazards on. I can now park across three or four parking bays with impunity, or double/triple park, even on roundabouts, and speed limits are all x2.

That’s a pet hate of mine here too. Why do people think putting the hazard lights on immediately absolves them of parking restrictions?

Ben Elton mused that perhaps whacking the hazards on may absolve you of other offences and was waiting for the first bank robber to use that in his defence...

Park anywhere lights, as my brother calls them. He also hates people who use them.

I never really saw people doing that much until I had some site work in Liverpool, they all do it there, every row of shops had a row of cars outside blinking away. Total pisstake.

When there’s some dickhead with the hazards on parked in front of another car it gives the bonus of looking like they want to pull out.

 

[T & P]

It's done to protect other road users not paying due care and attention from crashing into the stationary vehicle. People should be grateful, not angry

 

[hash tag]

It's a blinking nuisance if you ask me, I say its a blinking nuisance.

Outside Lidl tonight. The red bollard things are no-parking areas.

At least if he does time for it he’ll be treated like a hero inside

 

[hash tag]

Oh dear. Put a wealthy young man in a lambo and maybe some alcohol in the young man

 

[T & P]

Oh what a shame. Nevermind...

 

[hash tag]

Fwiw, he team are not exactly doing very well at the moment. They are in fact Rock bottom

What do you think the sentence should have been?

A Palestinian Hanger, then the bastinado while she's up there.
