You could put me into ANY vehicle and I would be able to drive it safely. I might not be able to drive it safely at 200mph, but I will be able to drive it safely on the road. Anyone who can't do that and who thinks a car is 'dangerously slow', is not a very good driver.

They will write out huge long subdivided posts in which they will make spurious claims as if they're the word of God himself. They will pompously accuse everyone else of using strawman and ad hominem arguments. They will make it impossible to have a reasonable discussion through their tedious posting style and possibly most annoying of all they'll use the sniggering smiley which is the badge of the most arrogant of know-it-all prats.

It comes back to "accelerating out of danger", an oft trotted out phrased used by people to justify buying a powerful vehicle that they almost certainly don't need, but just want.In 36 yrs of driving I've accelerated out of danger about 3 times, and on each occasion it was because I stupidly put myself in a daft position. A position I wouldn't have been in had I been driving a slower car in the first place.

That's the first time I think I've ever seen you admit to being wrong about anything!In 36 yrs of driving I've accelerated out of danger about 3 times, and on each occasion it was because I stupidly put myself in a daft position.

If the last general election was held in NP&E UKIP would've won.
That maybe the site's owners' preference. Haymarket is connected to Michael Heseltine and it's his old seat Boris Johnson now represents. rohrl said:

It's not a phrase, but the fact 70% of posters are this man irritates me.
Indeed, although I would place it at a higher rate of around 95%.greygoose said:
