    Just set the flashing light on the car dash to 104 km/hr and am in the process of a buying motorcycle that can only do 98 km/hr. There's a solution to anything. Technically, alcohol IS a solution.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    That seems to be the consensus in the areas that I frequent...

    The only problem that remains is the odd stickler for the 'by the book' approach. Maybe they'll be the ones selected to drive the funny coloured HP cars

    OT - but I like doing the Mascot match-ups.

    Knights V Dragons, Cowboys V Redskins, Broncos V Colts etc etc.

    In Aus cricket at the moment is possibly the best yet.

    I give you the:

    Alcohol. Think Again Western Warriors V The Queensland XXXX Gold Bulls.

    The piss heads lost.

    Prolly the ones pealing the spuds and fixing the tanks.

    Nope, in the infantry as of early 1945, that was 14%. There were 68% in combat and the remainder in HQ/admin.

    Eh? Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it worded that they issue tickets at their own discretion? And they go through training to qualify them to do so?

    If you have a problem with that being the case, I think you'll find yourself on a lonely side of the fence

    No doubt the pollies will declare the "trial" a great success (unless there is utter carnage; hopefully not) and once the cameras have been changed, what are the chances of changing them back in February? Pretty slim.

    Still, the local camera seemed disinterested in pinging the stream of 60km/h traffic going past it today, unless the flash is invisible these days(?)
    That's a bit rubbish. Annoyed to read that for reasons stated over the page

    It probably won't be long before there's a camera that can sense alcohol, drugs and not wearing seat belts etc.
    Yeah nah. They are already putting that tech straight into your car. Won't start if you're over the limit. Eventually if all cars have something like that installed they'll have to retire the booze buses

    Lucky for you they're letting it grow out then. Always seem to hit a mower heading up and down the coast. Better than not being able to see past an intersection due to overgrowth though

    Yeah nah, they're optional, too costly, don't actually stop the engine and easily defeated.

    Actually, my biggest concern, is how do I get my scooter to within 4k of the speed limit?

    Got a source? Would be an interesting read.

    Personally I think people not liking change is holding such things back more than that claim, but that is my own opinion. Shit even I don't completely agree with it in principle Would give people a chance to whinge about something else for a while though.

    By the look of it things are a bit quiet down your way so you could probably while away the time by doing some research for yourself.

    Yup. Bonus of having two screens when doing web stuff is you can distract yourself nicely.

    Thought something like that might be the reply though

    Well, I better head back to reality

    Had enough trolling on KB for today then? Was the child porn too boring for you?

    I'm more than happy to provide data for normal people, however, I don't like feeding trolls.
