Not in this context it doesn’t. As most children would be capable of understanding!

I wasn’t even prepared to explain that but I sometimes forget that U75 is heavily populated with individuals with the perceptual abilities of cat food.

Some of the slip roads in Portugal are terrifying, only saving grace is the generally low volume of traffic on primary roads. I remember the mrs driving straight onto the dual carriageway from the top middle one without even noticing the give way, and she’s from round these parts.

ffs, Lancaster motorist stamped on cyclist's head in roadside row
Prosecuting, Charles Brown said: " While they were stationary there the defendant, also coming in the same direction, pulled over and stopped in front of them.
"He then got out of the driver's seat and started shouting straight away, coming up to Mr Gardner and shouting in his face."
When the young woman asked him to leave them alone and asked what he was doing, he started to punch Mr Gardner to his face and body.
Miss Woodger tried to stop him and pull him away, accidentally tearing his T-shirt.
Mr Brown said: " Then the defendant transferred his attention to her. He punched her to the head then either punched or pushed her and she fell to the ground. Her head was close to the pavement.
"The defendant was standing over her and he stamped upon her head."
The difference between light injuries and brain damage/death in an attack like this is luck. How is this cunt free to walk the streets?
"Hayton, who has previous convictions for violence..." - naturally.

These have nothing to do with this cunt being a motorist and everything to do with him being a dangerous psychopath who should have been drowned at birth.

Quite.
10 years porridge for being mean to a slave trader's statue, community service for this cunt.

Lol! Nobody is ever going to do anything like 10 years for fucking over a statue.
I agree wiith your wider point though. This wanker should be doing 10 years.

Although still a very small proportion of all cars out on the road, I am noticing an increasing number of vehicles at night with their back lights off in my daily London commute.
At first I thought they might have forgotten to turn their lights on, yet when I passed them (on a bike, pretty much given all the time) they all had the front lights on.
As I doubt in most cases it’s a case of double bulb failures, the only other reason that comes to mind is that with daytime running lights coming as standard on new cars for the last few years now, some drivers aren’t bothering anymore to turn on their headlights at night? But that’s still illegal daylight running lights or not, right?

DRLs on the front, plus an always-illuminated dashboard, in an urban area, means it's hard to tell that your lights are off - if you're a bit of a halfwit anyway. Ideally they should come on automatically but manufacturers have a wide variety of controls that mean sometimes this is the default, sometimes you have to do something, etc etc.

I can understand some drivers forgetting to switch them on, but what puzzles me is that whenever I’ve spotted one and meant to stop by the driver’s window to let them know they’d forgotten to do so, I saw lights on at the front of the car. I guess I need to pay more attention and see if they are headlights (in which case it surely must be a double bulb failure at the back), or the daylight lights on.

This has been a thing for a while - hardware present but feature not activated - but surfacing this to the end user is new I think.
I think having variations in hardware, which introduce production line complexity, must have been determined to be more expensive than the cost savings from omitting the widgets for cars not specced with them. Or maybe the hardware overlaps, i.e. there is a single sensor suite and general purpose computer now that supports all these features and therefore there basically is no physical variation.

How is that "One rule for them..."? Six points is the correct punishment.It's one rule for them, or so they think. Justice Morris, a high court given 6 points and given formal advice for using phone while driving

" he was given formal advice". Have you ever seen that phrase used for your average offender. I appreciate we know half the story but I can't help feeling there is more to the story than meets the eye. As a judge "enforcing" the law, he should know better, he should set an example and should he continue in his role?
