Two questions for Bib or anyone that knows

All seems a bit harsh for a perfectly controlled bit of broadside. However I'd love to have points for furious driving lol
Why do you need to do this on a road?
I'm not saying I do, it was a hypothetical question.
I suppose a hypothetical answer might be because roads have roundabouts.

For your and everyone elses saftey, go to somewhere where the people that own the surface do not mind you doing this, you will endanger no one and if you get it wrong, you will not damage anything (even your own car!) It will not even cost you a lot of money! Probably less than the cost of an endorsable ticket!
I do often go to Bruntingthorpe. If I was to broadside on a public road I wouldn't do it with other cars around (could be of duty Bib) and never at a speed where anything more than me facing the wrong direction would occur.

Why do you need to do this anyway to embelish your website?
I don't have a website as I said it was a hypothetial question

I don't think your insurance company would be very impressed about points for 'furious driving'. In fact on the contrary, and I think you would be of the same attitude when the renewal notice arrives
!
Yep insurance companies suck.

But if there is no-one else near the roundabout, he IS endangering no-one. Drifties round a perfectly empty rbt at 20 - 30 mph must be one of the safest forms of fun known to man... i get SO ANNOYED with folk who dont like to see other ppl enjoying themselves!
Hmmmmlet me think about endangering no one!
1. 'Safest forms of fun known to man'. until it goes wrong and you end up leaving bits of debris from your vehicle/road side furniture around to endanger other roads users because there are no witnesses to report your 'safest form of fun known to man'
Debris from what, unless you are doing some serious high speed stuff the most that will happen is you'll face the wrong way.
As said before this will all be with no other traffic so troubles no-one.

2. When you seriously get it wrong and become the hazard yourself! What about those that have to come and remove your debris and you from it because of your funtimeup. (still, thats what you pay your taxes for and it matters not that you tie up valuable resources that cannot then attend other more serious incidents because they are having to unravel you from your unecessary mistake
As above
gone said:
3. Highly experienced 'drifters' never get it wrong though do they?
Who said that, but as before the most that will happen is you be facing the wrong way for a short moment

4 I get so ANNOYED with people who think no further than the end of their nose
Not sure I follow?
What's your view on motorbikes that do lap after lap of islands in an attempt to get their knee down?
Edited as I missed a close quote off the end

Its just a rumour really

So with regards to the question about bikes, note: I don't currently have one but there are a lot that gather round an island near me and they often fall off. What would the FPT be for?
Absolutely anything I could make stick at the time if necessary
Mostly failure to maintain proper control!
Excess noise!
drivng without due care or consideration! to name but a few
