Whats the score with the site? Is it only coppers that have permission to enter?

No not at all! Its just a forum for anyone interested in cars much like this one, which I must say is a very impressive site!

It actually came about after a number of very derogatory threads on Scoobynet so a few Police officers decided to start a site where we could also give a bit of advice without getting flamed to death!

Its not aimed at any make of car or any type of person. All are welcome and its quite a growing little community!

Please feel free to come and take a look....

Apologies if spamming like this is frowned upon....I just thought Madcop might be interested in having a look himself having had a good look around Pistonheads!

Had to smile when I had a quick look, one of the sections towards the bottom of the home page is:- 'newest registered user - outlaw'. I wonder if its the one and the same .

The problem with your posts Outlaw is that they are often incorrect. You need to learn a bit more about what you are talking about before posting.

We are a factual site when it comes to law and therefore cant have posts full of complete nonsense.

We dont mind constructive debate or criticism as they make for an interesting forum, but a little bit of research on your part wont go astray!

Sounds a bit like US diplomacy then. Open debate as long as you agree with the US position.

Hey, I can hardly wait to get involved.

When it comes to law..........a fact is a fact!

If someone is stating completely incorrect information as if it were gospel then that could get people in trouble! And that would not make the website worthwhile!

This is often quoted by numpties to justify more speed cameras, you know the sort... "people who don't exceed the speed limit have nothiung to fear"... The problem is that speed limits have in some cases been reduced from say 60 to 40 when nothing about the road has changed other than the installation of a Revenue Collection camera. In these cases the arbitory limits set by some councillor command no respect and a law that commands no respect will not be obeyed and should be challenged. Rich...

How very misleading. Who decides what constitues a fact? Not the law itself, but those who interpret the law. And if laws weren't open to varying interpretations (and, indeed, legislative alterations), we'd still be burning witches.

I visited this 5ive-0 website and posed a few questions under the motoring law section. The moderator locked the thread thus stifling debate. Not a good way to welcome newcomers now is it. Stay here, much friendlier bunch of guys.

Perhaps if you didn't join up only to flame and deliberately offend, we wouldn't need to lock you.

By all means join the site, banter, have fun, like the other users and we hope you stay.

5ive-o is a site for car enthusiasts of all makes.
