Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Radio 4 now, talking about drink drivers who have lost their licence, being given their licence back after only a short time.
One commentor, interviewed said his wife was run over by a Lorry driver, drunk, who was an alhollic, and who had dozens of drink driving convictions.
Currently 230,000 drivers on the 'at risk' list of re offending!
It appears the driving licence, is really sacrasant!
"As new figures show the number of people killed in drink-driving crashes rose by 17%, the BBC has discovered that thousands of drink-drivers are repeat offenders....280 people were killed in drink-drive accidents in 2012, an increase of about 17% compared with 2011. This accounts for 16% of all road deaths in Britain. Overall, deaths were down 8% on 2011, at 1,754. "
and
"In 2009, Anish Patel's wife, Catriona, 39, was killed by a serial offender while cycling to work. She was crushed under the wheels of his lorry outside Oval tube station in south London. The driver had three previous drink-driving convictions, had been disqualified 20 times and had three previous convictions for reckless driving."
