You Brits have some effed up traffic "solutions" and I fear the morons here will soon try to adopt them. The fact is that most of the "drivers" here shouldn't have a license. Some dumb cnut actually tried to pass me in bumper to bumper traffic by "lane splitting" -- in a Honda Accord. Really? Do you really think a Honda Accord can fit in the 4' space between cars? Summary execution would not be harsh enough for that dumb bitch. Her whole defective bastard line should be eliminated.
It seems that the "plan" to balance the Kalifornia budget is to issue as many speeding tickets as possible. Everywhere I look nowadays, there is some super trooper lurking in the bushes with a radar gun. And, I've never seen more accidents, because while Popo Joe is sitting on the side of the road, thumb firmly imbedded in his asshole, the drunks roam free to crash into anyone they please.
So, instead of some lard ass sitting in a van eating donuts, or kippers, or whatever the fook your coppers eat over there (excepting Superdan of course ), he / she should be out stalking dumb asses like the Katya courva in the beat to shit Accord trying to make three lanes out of two. As for the dumb ass doing the 103 mph wheelie, he got most of what his dumb ass deserved - not because what he did was particularly dangerous or offensive, but because he was dumb enough to get caught. / Rant.
