Possibly an accurate statement if the issue was a man doing 40 in a 30 mph zone, but this is plain dangerous. Fair point, I don't know the kid, so I don't really care, but I do feel totally entitled to say that it is a frighteningly dangerous practice!

I understand what you saying Warthog even though I do see my initial statement as universally true, within the society we live in.....too many Hi-Tech warriors with short memories.....and they make me laugh

Only an idiot will deny that the guy was a prize bellend so I'm not saying he wasn't.

ps: Perhaps the baying Mob, calling for a ban etc could enlighten me on exactly what good they hope to achieve with a ban

Er, perhaps to stop him doing it again for at least 12 months?

Perhaps its unfairness? Seeing as when I first got my license I could have lost it for the cheap price of two 36's in a 30 mph zone, yet complete lapses of sense like this go around unpunished. One kind of wants a punishment that measures up to the dangerousness. A ban would certainly stop him endangering his kid's life like that.

I think the other thing here is that you do hear too many "baying mobs" calling for bans. Ban guns, ban motorbikes, ban smoking etc, it has given banning a bad name. In this case it should be purely stopping him from carrying on like that: if you can't ride a motorbike properly, you shouldn't be allowed to ride one full stop.


But as an aside, it is only his own kid he is endangering, so I still don't mind, if he wants to take his genes out of the gene pool fine by me. I just hope other people don't have to watch the event.

Lets put this into perspective. We're living in a society where people wont think for a second before thinking it's their damn right to impose their morality on others in order to 'save lives', but will think twice about helping someone lying in need in the street if it'll make them late for work.

Get on your soap box about having some git called Brown nicking your life savings. Get angry about thousands dying every year because despite a trebling of the NHS budget to a whopping £100bn, no-one seems to manage to find the money for disinfectant.

Don't get angry about this, it's pointless, none of your business and above all hypocritical.

It's my damn right to impose the LAW.
This is a blatant case of dangerous driving. I CAN and WILL impose my morality on this man. I WILL and DO stop and assist people in need.
Now come back with a response that shows you have a spine.
