    New penalty points

    What's the point without having more traffic cops on the road? Drivers will just realise there will be nobody to enforce the new rules.

    "9 out of 10 accidents involve driver error" so says the notice in the star yesterday...

    Getting caught in a yellow box will solve that...

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    Might stop someone getting frustrated with the road being blocked, and subsequently doing some stupid over taking manoeuvre.

    Hopefully they'll enforce the Failure to drive on the left, as "get the fook out of the overtaking lane if you're not overtaking".
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    The guards never caught people in yellow boxes last week so adding penalty points for the offense won't make any difference this week. Only Traffic Corps guards ever stop people for road offences as the other lads off to Spar or somewhere

    Always annoys me too, and I don't even drive! Is that even in the list this time?

    It would help it that replaced signs for climbing lanes from slow lanes to overtaking lanes as no one likes to drive in a "slow" lane.

    It makes the government look like they're doing something.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    on my way to work this morning a cop car was behind me , i was doing 60 mph , it drove right up my arse for about 10 mins which made me quite nervous . then overtook on a solid white line , took off doing at least 100 .went through a village ( 30mph zone ) at 60 mph . caught up to the car in front of me done the same to her right up behind her , she got jittery untill he sped past her .

    i get to the next village and he is setting up a check point all that dangerous driving to get to a small country village to check tax and insurance .not rushing to a bank robbery or gang land shooting .


    the gaurds are going overboard today ive seen 13 different gaurds in 3 little villages today .at 11 in the afternoon ( sunny day coincedence i think not )
