    Yeah they do with a lot of things, the fun is finding a way of avoiding them ha. As for tax, yeah its daft but the country is in massive debt and this new prick in charge has to find some way of dealing with the deficit.
    Haha not ripping on the UK as a whole, I hear great things from friends who have been and British chicks are very sexy with those lovely accents Just pointing out some things I know which would bother me, not like things here are moving in the right direction either so the whole world's going to shit

    I think the ad is pretty sobering. Yeah its pretty much the worst case scenario but the law is in place because this happens on a day to day basis but people still do it.
    A local MP a bit back smashed into some fella by the side of the motorway seeing to his broken down car. Claimed he didn't see him but it was on Christmas day so there was no-one on the roads. Turns out he was on his phone texting when it happened. He was sent down.

    They did some drink driving ones as well which had a similar impact.

    I totaled my Galant by T boning some dip shit cause of that. Hit the windshield, knocked it onto the hood, and the air bag went off after I was on my way back to the seat smashing me in the face. I had my seat belt on but was adjusting it at the moment to get some hot KFC off my lap. Pushed the dip onto someones stoop.

    Totaled both cars. Got nothing out of it cause cell phones laws arent hard enough,or at least at the time. She was able to blame it on traffic conditions instead.

    It can happen, I would rather people talk, not that I care for either.
