At 20, I would hardly describe him as a kid. Certainly old enough to know exactly what he was doing. At that age, I couldn't afford a car and was usually too pi55ed to drive anyway. I sure as hell couldn't afford a car capable of double the speed limit!
Old's a bit somethingist isn't that? Maybe at 53 I am. Had I driven like the cock under discussion, I doubt I would have survived this long (and thanks to some cocks who drove like that, I knew some people who didn't survive this long.)
Yes, permanent. He's shown that he has no proper judgement so driving privileges should be revoked on a permanent basis.
As to the last comment, I thought that was beneath even you.

A warning has been given for this post
I suspect I can live without knowing wtf you're wittering on about, so I'll give it a miss, thanks.
The mere fact that you think it's OK to break a law just because you don't like it, tells me all I need to know.
And you certainly do not need to know much to have an opinion and voice it do you, in fact you just make up what people say when you lack the knowledge. Show where I said that it is ok to break the law potty mouth?

Well, let's see......I posted.....
To which you replied...

You're lecturing me?
Or are there levels of potty mouthing that you find acceptable too?

You're absolutely right.
I quoted the wrong person, so for that, I sincerely apologise.
Not sure how that makes me a liar though.

Well it was at least two posts a go so I expect you have found something else to be outraged about by now!
You stated I said it was ok to break the law, show where I do or a liar you will be.

If anyone wants to ignore me, they are welcome to. I'm utterly ambivalent.
Wanting to discuss something automatically means I agree with it? I'm not surprised you think that if I'm honest.
Because here you are, criticising people for discussing something you deem to be too trivial when according to you, we should all be discussing issues of "major crisis or even self-destruction" such as "jihadists, terrorists, globalists, Hillary et all" (which tells us all we need to know about you)... Yet all your photography discusses is trivia. We're discussing trivia in here with words... you discuss it with your photography: What's the difference? If you think you can barge in here and accuse people of triviality because we're discussing something that's, according to you, not important enough, then surely I can level the same accusations at your and your trivial photography... can't I? After all, your opinions on us being trivial was unsolicited, so suck it up. Now perhaps you need to exit this discussion... it is, after all, far too trivial for you. Do you not have any, more serious Islamophobic fears to rant about?
Oh did no one tell you? That God stuff..... all made up. There's no magic man in the sky who offers you everlasting life after death... sorry.
Not at all: My understanding and appreciation of it far exceeds yours, because I understand more of it than you do. I certainly don't think it was created by a magic man in the sky who gave birth to a son via a virgin who then ends up being a zombie, and I certainly then don't celebrate these fictitious events by appropriating old pagan festivals and renaming them in the name of a religion that was invented to merely control a populace in a feudal and failing society.
Never taken such a shot in my life.
Let's see your art and pick it apart for how worthless and pathetic it is. You don't even dare to share your website link. Only a total soul-less creature would descend on an attack like this.
Zzzzz......
No.. I have no stupid pink lettered links in my sig, or silly Flickr widgets. In fact I have nothing other than one simple statement that sums up my attitude to photography. I've got work in the gallery in here, and I've posted links to my website so many times I've lost count. If you're too lazy to search, that's your problem. Besides, your tiny, God fearing mind can not even begin to comprehend how unimportant your opinion of my work is - besides (again), you're almost obliged to give it a slagging off now just to save face so... feel free... knock yourself out if it makes you feel better. I can predict with monotonous accuracy what you, and people like you will say about it anyway.... idiot.
So.. bring on the ban for calling him an idiot in a thread where blow jobs can be discussed freely... even though he clearly is an idiot.
See you in a few days then. LOL

Ohhhhh OK. It's ok to break all those laws we disagree with.
Glad you cleared that up.
Well, sometimes yes if you believe the law is unjust. That's where personal morals and beliefs override the law set down by that country, but if caught you understand you will face prosecution.
For instance it wasn't until 1967 that homosexuality was decriminalised. How about laws in other countries to restrict the media opposing that regime.
How about disrupting that London.
Did you know that one person counts as a demonstration, for which you have to complete form 3175 and return it to the Met police at least 6 days before the event occurs, giving details of the date, time, proposed route and the name and address of an organiser. It was originally under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act, but there's now provisions under the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011.
This of course is in direct contradiction to article 11 of the human rights act, which the UK has signed up to, everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly. This is a right closely linked to the right to freedom of expression, one of the foundations of a democratic society.
Labour bought in the law in an attempt to evict Brian Haw from Parliament square, but it's led to people like Maya Evans, who was arrested and fined for reading out the names of those killed in the Iraq war by the Cenotaph.
Taking it to an extreme case, but one possible. under this law you could be prosecuted for protesting for say wearing a badge saying sack your football teams manager if you walked into the wrong area. More than that, the police have a right to seize equipment which may be used to commit these offences. Fancy having your camera taken off you?
We make moral judgements about laws every day. It's not black and white because it's society that generally decides whats right and wrong, our government try to legislate that.

Absolutely...and excellent post BTW.
But do you honestly think that people speed because they find the limits laid down, to be morally abhorrent?
Or is it more a case of they simply want to go faster, or, in the case of one poster in this thread, they get "bored" at 70mph?

I think its a combination of people in a hurry, 99.9% of cars being able to exceed motorway speed limits and an inability to master eye/foot coordination.
Even if the speed limit was to be raised for the "bored at 70 brigade" the problem will never be irradicated.

They'll just get bored at 90 instead. Raising speed limits is pointless... just as pointless as lowering them. If a 40 tonne truck rear ends you (because he's on his phone) at 50, you're just as dead as you would be if it rear ended you at 70... or 90.
And just to maintain the smut levels (which I whole heartedly approve of incidentally), yes.... I said "rear ended"... which you know.... sounds a bit rude... [giggle]

Speeding is a different issue, and you don't find that people speed all the time, just sometimes depending on circumstances.
Speed is a drug to some people, a minority. It's exciting, be it on a motorbike, car, plane, fairground ride. The acceleration, the control. To others it may be a momentary lapse, be it thrash the vehicle briefly because of a mood, exceed the speed limit to pass a line of cars rather than one at a time. It's always a moral judgement because you know what the given law and limits are, but you accept there are times ot break that.
The Unofficial motorway speed limit to some is 80-100mph, Everyone knows the limit as shown when you creep past a copper at 71-72 I firmly believe our speed limit on the motorway is now too low, I like the French system of one limit for good weather, a slower for poor, but it needs to be policed. An obvious example here is the M25. Huge amount of cameras controlling the speed to aid the flow of traffic, which generally works apart from a few that ignore it.
But, theres plenty of opportunity on other roads to speed, because of the lack of policing. As a young lad I did the same, just that cars were slower, cornering speeds were less, when you got it wrong it was at a much slower speed and the consequences weren't as severe. You don't realise this as a young driver, (especially male as we develop at different speeds) you're invincible, a driving god, enjoying the freedom, the control. As you get older and more experienced not only in drivign but in life, you make alternate choices. Thats why there's so many programmes now for young drivers, informing them of the consequences, trying to stop the accidents, give them the information, try to give them that life experience earlier rather than letting them find out for themselves when then or a friend has an accident.
Which is why I said the lad in question was lucky but still that punishment will affect his life for the short and medium term. A possible explanation of the photo of himleaving the court could show an immature person not fully realising that impact yet.

The bored comment I think is because cars are designed to be transport systems these days. Quiet, uninvolved, isolate the drivers from the environment with their sound systems, sat navs, phone connectivity, follow me cruise control, lane guidance, and now with some cars, fully autonomous sat nav cruise control. The driver doesn't 'drive' these days, theres a level of distance.
Which leads to inattention, possible explains the rise in people texting/on social media whilst driving (along with the social need to be constantly connected). It's that inattention, the carelessness that causes incidents (note: not accidents). Usually on the motorway it's a lack of separation distance for the speed. That isolation thats prevalent in modern life leads to poor choices. I'll push in with my car, 'F*** you, finger sign', I'll be aggressive on the internet etc. It's the separation of modern life, most people would never behave like that face to face, yet you see it every day.

I agree she does but unfortunately its a Admin only function.
It seems that one or two people are starting to throw personal insults about,
one warning has already been issued, (and yes they have been informed)
So unless things start to calm down....

ive given a few of my bikes the beans over the years, i was once doing 135 on my z750 on an empty m1 about 10 years ago returning from doncaster after a late shift.
sitting there head on the tank and this car comes up behind me slowly and eases past me, massive merc with a young asian gentleboy sat in it, he must have been doing 150.
I rung a bit more out of the bike sucked my arse in and toes and pushed it to 142 flat out at 13,000 rpm indicated at which point he was alongside as had eased off looking very nervous.
i held it for about 30 seconds and then whoosh he hit the brakes and went backwards so fast and literally dived off a slip road
