Roundabouts and other driving pet peeves

[Bada-Bing!]

More than 50 people have UK driving licences with at least 30 points on them

Three men have over 100 points and one woman 96, analysis shows, leading to calls for review of system

Lots of drivers don't give a **** anymore. Make them redo their test after accruing 12 points.

Yup. The exceptional hardship thing is ******. It'sa drivers own fault for acruing 12 or more points, so they should have to deal with the consequences! I've only ever had a single 3 points on my license in the 23 years I've been driving, so I don't have any sumpathy for those who willingly flaunt the law.

176 points is just insane! What judge is allowing him to stay on the roads!

Usual nonsense of the person needs it for their living and they would lose their livelihood etc...

At some point those reasons should stop being valid.

Not driving, but pet peeve
The sports sections of Duolingo (and other instances of American rather than English, or word-for-word translations rather than things that mean the same - most obvious in the sports section)

Eg not being allowed to call F: "football americain: E: "american football"
Not knowing the difference between a game (F: "jue") and a match (F: "match")
F: "jouer au ballon" having to be E: "play ball" rather than the same thing, which would be E: "kickabout"
