at the risk of ginging:

Four of the world's top rally drivers have been banned from driving
after being caught in speed traps in south Wales during the British leg
of the world championships last year.....

Only goes to show the utter fuckwittery of the whole fucking system.

and the stupidity of taking business to Wales.

 

Why?

They were caught on a public road above the speed limit.

Surely they don't get special treatment?

 

Of course they should. And every other fucker on that road.

The defence solicitor made a good point - that those guys were extremely
unlikely to have an accident; especially at those sorts of speeds. What
was it, 41mph? For Chrissake.

The whole thing's fucked up.

indeed - How did all those top class drivers not notice a fucking gatso
and point it out to the organisers? More to the point, why didn't the
organisers spot it and deal with it?

Well, the council bod who conveniently decided to arm that
particular camera for that period of time will probably
recieve blowjobs from the council treasurer for the rest
of his time though.

 

You don't want to come to Suffolk then. The whole bloody county seems to
have been blanketed with 30 mph zones, even the country lanes where there is
no building of any kind. All, of course, in an effort to reduce
accidents. My arse!

According to the Today programme the British drivers only got 3 points
whereas the foreign drivers have been banned presumably because they
went through the gatso so many times.

 

I blame the navigators. The GATSOs should have been in their course notes:
"Long left, 50, slight dip, left 60, GATSO, hard right 50,......."

 

Too fucking right I don't. It took me 20 years to escape
the poxy place and I have no intention of going back.
