My solution would be to use dangerous/anti-social driving as an extreme revenue generator for Govts. Why print so much money when there are so many ignorant fools we can tax to death whilst also improving the lives of law abiding peopl

I don't think it's ignorance of the rules, I think a lot of drivers consider themselves to have above average driving skills and what you consider dangerous tailgating is your failure to understand that these people have extraordi

I enjoy watching French comedy dramas becuase the humour is incredibly subtle, unlike the majority of Hollywood films that are the exact opposite. I'll tolerate Jeniffer Aniston though.
