:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Excellent point! I may have to duck here but I agree, isn’t it amazing how many know how to claim on the benefits system but can’t speak or understand even basic english language!
By the way, I totally agree jen jen on the road rage issue. I was coming back from the shops on Saturday, I was on my scooter (the mobility sort) crossing just a small road, a young woman in a rather large 4 x 4 came haring round from the main road into the side road which I was in the middle of, I stopped out of shock, one of those moments when your not quite sure what to do. The volley of abuse I got from the said young woman was unreal!! lol. So it springs to mind once again! how inconsiderate of me to be in her way!!! She clearly wasnt having a very good day, I asked, quite angrily, did she kiss her mother with that mouth, this seemed to inflame her all the more lol

Whilst I agree with the judge that learning English would make her life easier if she’s going to live in this country, I’d also say that the fact that she can’t speak English has no bearing on the incident. It was a domestic dispute and she was getting back at her husband, she’d probably have done the same even if she could speak English.
I’ve driven in France: I don’t speak French. I’ve driven in Spain: I don’t speak Spanish. Countless of us do it when we go on our holidays abroad.
You may well have driven in France and in Spain, iv’e driven in Spain and in Malta, iv’e mostly found road signs to be pretty self explanatory anyway. I don’t think though, that iv’e ever deliberatly rammed someone elses car, and lets not forget, it was across a pavement, ramming her husbands car into a wall, makes you question whether someone obviously so volatile should be driving in the first place!!
The question of her not being able to speak english is a whole other matter really, I think a lot of them, not only chinese but many other nationalities use that one far too often to try to get away with things, oh I dont understand, I no speak english!!
Pete while your googling, why don’t you go and google NSAIDS and the often adverse effects these can have on the human body.
I think you may find that they can often have far worse effects, and theyre legal!!!!

Did that thought ever occur to you :roll:
So maybe the whole police force is useless then ?
To say maybe you were unlucky somehow sounds like it’s cheapening your experience, which i dont mean to do but dont you think other officers would have maybe handled it differentlyNo I dont! i’m not stupid and saying that another officer may have handled it differently i find quite offensive!!
From his phone call that day, iv’e never heard from the chief of police again, so if he wasnt prepared to do anything further, doesnt say too much for the rest of them does it :roll:
Am I angry? i’m sure I must seem angry, well yr dam right i’m angry, not all of the time but I have my moments. I stood in my place at an inquest, an inquest where the office who’d been in charge, and was present was told was by the coroner that the case was to be re-opened and every effort should be made to find the person responsible. The inquest was almost 2 years ago Pete, she died almost 3 years ago. Despite being told what they were by the coroner, guess how much iv’e heard from them in the last 2 years!
So don’t tallk to me and try to convince me of what a wonderful police force we have and what a hard time they have trying to deliver such a wonderful service. On the whole, most of them deserve eveything they get!

these people who abuse their power far outnumber those who do not, i speak from personal experience
your quote not mine
And Cas dont tell me what i know or dont know about any drugs I’ve done tha paranoid bit on grass thank you I wont be bothering with it again
where did i say it’s ok for people on prescription drugs to cause an accident ?
and its as illegal to riding a bike under the influence as a car
Not everyone sufferes paranoia! and if you wont be bothering with it again well thats your choice. It doesnt though, make it ok for you to be some moral guardian and think you can tell others what they should and should do or take.
So if someone taking prescription drugs does drive, despite the warnings not to, and they knock down and kill someone, thats ok cos they were after all, prescription drugs
^^ that was what i said pete !
where did i say it’s ok for people on prescription drugs to cause an accident ?
Where did I say you had, I was merely making a point!
and its as illegal to riding a bike under the influence as a car[/quote]
Go tell that to the police who did jack shyte for me pete!!!
Gazlan, when you speak of personal experiences with the force, I can fully understand that one, although there are some who clearly cant grasp it :roll:
My own personal experience with them when I suffered the loss I did was one I wouldnt ever want to repeat. Never in my entire life, had I been met with such indifference. I got in touch with a national newspaper, oddly enough, the day after they ran it, I had the chief of police for the area call me! strange one that eh, he was calling me, he said, to check on how the case was going and was I happy with the service I was receiving. Were it allowed, I would print my reply to him on here :wink:

Any amount of things COULD happen, people using prescription drugs are equally prone to such happenings…..hypothetical …….if only i……but it could…… :wink:
well thats ok then eh. Thing is prescription users would (in most cases) not drive if instructed not to as they dont think it turns them into supersenses man

Most users do Pete, but when arrested and the drugs have worn off they cry like babies.
You both so obviously know nothing at all about weed, i’d say go educate yourselves about it before making any comments :roll:
No one was talking about anyone driving while intoxicated through either drink or drugs :roll: this whole discussion started because of what had happened with Gaz on his bike. It was you Pete who put the issue together of driving while under the influence of either drink or drugs. Personally i don’t do either, there are some people who do though, as there are people who even after having had one drink, insist that theyre quite capable of driving.
On the whole, iv’e found mostly anyway, that if youv’e had a drink, people know, if on the other hand, youv’e had a joint/spliff whatever you want to call it, people don’t know, not unless you tell them anyway.
I knew someone pete, who was fatally injured by another person high on alchohol, and you know what the police did about it, a big fat nothing!
