    So if I am to accept your argument of roadside checks etc are giving up an essential? liberty, for a temporary safety?

    I guess, that you'd be happy for me to turn up to my employment, do my 'required' walk through inspection, note a mechanical fault of a serious, or semi serious nature, due to a failure or bad maintenance, but then carry on and drive my train with you and up to 1,000 people on board?


    full of it, much!!

    extrapolation much!!

    Fact 1: checkpoints and/or stasi do not cause a " knob who has drunk too much or using an unsafe vehicle" to become "one
    less idiot on the road"
    -perhaps if there was some kind of effective system whereby "justice" could be administered... But there isnt.
    Qed: the number of drunk and/or idiots and/or women on the road.

    Fact 2: theres no crown profit in road safety.

    I never said checking a vehicles suitability for purpose was a waste of time. Just that cops doing it at checkpoints, which inconviniences every nigger, is.

    But i think you proved everyone elses point. You as the driver should be aware/checking your vehicle. What you do after that falls entirely to you.

    yes they can be used effectively, kidney shots particularly.
    But i qualified that with a statement about the capacity of the user, innit.

    Better luck next time jew.
    Well actually know all of know all shit, it is the same size but thats it. The pivot ring, the construction its all different but hey you would know.

    Umm sorry champ but if you are using one for a "kidney shot" which I assume you are referring to a short end punch, then there are much more effective strikes. But hey once again you would know.

    Better luck next time friend . Can we be friends on bebobook? we could share status updates and add photos on Instagram with the hashtag #akzleblowsgoats

    Which proves my point, that, as so many DONT perfrom checks, or maintain their vehicles, they are a potential danger to the rest of us, ergo, Police checks which hamper the progress of everyone else are sadly required...
    I'm sure if relatives/friends of yours were killed in an accident by a numbnuts with a seriously defective car, you'd want some kind of 'action' to prevent a recurrence.

    statistically thats <1% likely,
    its more likely to be a woman/azn/old bitch/metrosexual/townie "man" in a fully functional (driver excepted) suv/other.
    So why dont the cops fuck up everyones day to stop women driving suvs? Why are they even allowed to import them? Why are arrogant innatentive cunts allowed cars or licenses?

    Like i sais, theres no profit in actual safety.

    Until they start impounding said "Unsafe vehicles" from the checkpoints ... they do remain on the road with said idiot still driving it ....

    If found intoxicated ... the car remains on the side of the road ... with the driver forbidden to drive for the required time ...

    As you say ... there isn't ... so the checkpoints will continue. Until Police/Government come up with a viable alternative ... (don't hold your breath until they can/do)

    There is indeed ... the checkpoints are funded within Police's current budget. Fines however go into the Government treasury ... money for jam ... so to speak.

    And inconveniences the guilty niggers too ... more that of the innocent niggers though. All the innocent lose is a few minutes of their busy pathetic winging lives ...

    No need to check ... the sticker says it's safe until August ... right .. ??

    Some don't even check the oil levels ... or know how to ..

    The cops can and do hold people up for up to several hours at a time at "checkpoints". Once I was held up for about 3-4 hours as the cops were checking every car over.

    That would suck, and support Akzle's angle on liberty. I was thinking more of a few minutes delay, but still maintain the overall rationale is sound - sounds like other KBers have seen poor execution of the checkpoints, which may be the real issue ?

    Before you get excited when you feel the officer has "detained" you long enough ... Failing to remain stopped for an enforcement officer ... can get you 35 shiny new demerit points ...

    I ride a Scooter
    It doesnt need a wof
    I keep it up to scratch infact I probably am more aware of the conditions of ALL of the bits the WOF man would check on that thing for 2 reasons;
    1) it is up to me to check it
    2) if I dont check it and something fails and I run over a kid I would cry lots

    However I know the scooter will pass any roadside check (except for rowdy expansion chamber perhaps, but loud pipes save lives and all that)
    But most WOFs on our cars something trips me up and I need to get it fixed

    If it makes the road safer its OK

    If the cop has wrongly ticketed me and I need to pay for inspection and it passes, I would invoice the police for the inspection fee, or perhaps even take the officer in question to the small claims court

    Like when the AA eye test machine fails you and you need to spend $40 at your optometrist just to get another bit of paper that says, actually, your eyes are fine with the glasses that optometrist prescribed for you, and you can go bill the AA for the cost?

    Sigh.

    Go to the doctors and get a medical, it's cheaper (and required anyway for HT stuff).
