A very good point. Personally I think all left hand drive vehicles should be banned from our roads as they are inherently dangerous. Yeh, I now that this is impratical due to the requirements of fright vehicles going to and from the continent. I seem to remember that some vehicle e.g. kerb cleaning and drain cleaning vehicles have big stickers on the back saying " warning Left hand Drive " or similar. Why can't they have this on all left hand drive vehicles ( and ditto for right hand drive going abroad ). Surely they can have some graphical symbol to denote this ? p.s. I know I spelled frieght wrong earlier but somehow it seemed more appropriatte so I left it in. p.p.s. ...possibly you could also have a symbol for a woman driver as well... :blink:

The following are examples of driving which may support an allegation of dangerous driving: Speed, which is highly inappropriate for the prevailing road or traffic conditions. " Far too fast to go around the roundabout according to several witnesses and a police expert" Disregard of traffic lights and other road signs, which, on an objective analysis, would appear to be deliberate; "Several witnesses said he booted it through the lights well on Amber" and finally Driving a vehicle with a load which presents a danger to other road users. " This last one is very important as shown below" The drivers responsibilty under the law regarding vehicle load weight and security. A driver should check his load before setting out....He failed to do this....if the load was incorrectgly balanced under the law it is the drivers responsibilty. If the driver is in any doubt about the load...weigh the vehicle and try to establish axle weights. If you cannot do this, take advice but remember that the responsibility is yours, not that of those giving the advice....public weighbridges are available....there would most likely have been one where he picked the load up from although there is no statement to this....the driver failed to do this. To summarise The vehicle was "in the drivers opinion" badly loaded which is the drivers responsibility under the law....the jury were obviously misled on this fact. In the "police experts opinion" the vehicle was overladen...I have not seen any quotes about evidence to the contrary....again this is the drivers responsibily...again the jury were misled. In the "opinion of the Department of Transport" the lorry was overladen....they probably know what they are talking about. The jury were no doubt bamboozled by clever courtroom talk which is usually the case with accusations of dangerous driving....I have no idea how on earth the case for careless driving was dropped....

Have that man shot !

Best Wishes.....still alive then !

Hold on a mo..... Shouldn't this be Muhammad ? There are many varieties on this prophets name .....Mohammed...Muhammed...Muhamet. There is no Mohamed.... with the single "m". I feel a Fatwa heading your way Gregers for mispelling the name of the prophet. Couple of hundred lashes should do it........leather underwear is optional.

I like it ..... :lol: Bet you ebay has been flooded with complaints about it .

I think it is quite likely that something will be seriously amiss with the valves and/or associated components, quite likely the pistons as well. You definitely need to whip the top off and have a look. May need a new head....possibly engine if the pistons are too badly damaged.

Lets hope they don't knacker anything else while they fix it. My experience of Dealers is not good in this respect.

I bet you are glad its under warranty... :lol:

These "beautiful decorations made by the kids" Wouldn't happen to be formed from the left over parts from your old Gal ?

I dread to think.....almost certainly something I don't want to do. Kinda hoping the weather stays nice for Sunday and I might go fishing.

No sh!t Sherlock......we'd never have guessed !

You could tell her to adopt the following procedure. 1: Adjust Make-up 2: Turn ignition to ON ! 3: Check Make-up 4: Start Engine 5: Adjust Make-up 6: Check Make-up 7: Drive off 8: Check Make-up 9: Adjust Make-up 10: Release Handbrake

Yeh, and that was just yesterday...... :lol:

Yep, same sort of sympathy that I recieve from my trouble & strife when I am unwell. Heartless aren't they.. :lol:

As long as its not called Mohammed... :D Hopefully later on if I can get her drunk enough... :lol:

Sadly the weather forecast for tomorrow morning is still mild.... Too mild for booster heaters to kick in. However a sudden frost will occur in the Northeast sometime soon. Most likely there will be a little hotspot where something is fuming.... Lets hope its the booster heater.... ;)
