One of these cars is a BMW

Lincolnshire Police warn man seen 'cleaning' car moving at 60mph

The man was stretching from one car to another on the A1 in Lincolnshire for "banter", police say.

Just sayin'

Hmmm... Deplorable?

Deplorable is breaking into the house of, and robbing, the elderly.

This is stupid. But doesn't contain considered malice.

(I know its the police's words, not yours, just pointing out the misuse as it may reflect their perceived priorities a bit.)

Someone has to buy new cars or else there wouldn't be second hand cars.

I understand this is an attempt at a joke about BMW drivers, but you aren't even paying for packs to be added anymore…. Some of the features in mine are already there, but you have to pay to activate them.

Micro transactions have made their way into the car market.

Ah sure they've been demapping the same engine for near 20 years now to fill out the lower end of the diesel model line. The 2.0 ltr engine covers quite a bit.

I've long wondered just how much more does it cost to have different looms etc on the cars.

It is stupid, but I'd also say deplorable. In that weather it wouldn't take much to cause a huge accident which could easily end up with innocent people around them and getting hurt or killed. It may not be intentionally malice but it is reckless and dangerous.

He proper lost it 3 years ago.
IIRC he was already on the way (though mostly passing me by), but became a fully-signed up conspiracy nut with Covid

I find it staggering when your political ideology is such a huge part of what defines you, you are prepared to outright deny a reality as basic as the weather for fear it undermines your beliefs.

"I'll sue you for daring to tell the truth about me!"

Have you seen his signature?

Highly doubt (even) the civil service are stupid enough to let him try and write down anything beyond 4 letter words to be honest never mind the lockdown rules...

"I just want to make sure people know that I'm on their side in supporting them to use their cars to do all the things that matter to them,"

Just so.... slimey.

They think they've found a little chink where Labour have mixed messages and mixed feelings in the electorate on ULEZ etc and are gonna hound it.

In other news Rishi Sunak today announced his support for putting many children at risk by purposefully increasing transient traffic through housing estates. The prime minister said

"I just want to make sure people know that I'm on their side in supporting them to use their cars to drive unsafe volumes of traffic through housing estates

Sunak orders review of low traffic neighbourhoods in pro-motorist message

Speaking to the Sunday Telegraph, the prime minister says he wants to support people to use their cars.

www.bbc.co.uk

And let's make cars King again where they are already King and there's not enough space on roads.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

It's such transparent opportunism off the back of the ULEZ thing. They do love to ignore the role the Tories played in the creation and expansion of ULEZ and I wish more people would haul them up on it. They are arguing against something they were in favour of not that long ago.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Definitely. The Tories don't give a **** about drivers. Take the close pass of cyclists. I have reported over 40 in 2 months I have been cycling on the road. A lot of them will either have gotten points and a fine, which goes straight to the treasury coffers or if lucky a drivers awareness course. They are happy for drivers to get fined as a way of blaming them. What a transport policy.
