they do it in the rain though. Eh?

4) When people make mistakes, your policemen shout at people and shout 'Your Wrong' and don't give you a chance to talk, so maybe they should set the example, children who don't get smacked normally turn out to be Gay or wimps, he needed a good telling off in my opinion.no they dont unless you are in fact in the wrong, have had dealings with the police at rta's here and they have ALWAYS been very polite, friendly and helpful. GAY or WIMPS.........**** me just how out of kilter is your brain

5) Nothing wrong with the headshake thing, I like it! It makes me smile and laugh like a child.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6) I have considered this, I think emailing the RTA will not work, I think the idea of traffic officers like in the UK (fake police who patrol and keep our roads safe) is a god idea. Also educating drivers more and maybe instead of your electronic road signs stating the obvious "dense fog" they should tell driver "Do not use hazard lights in fog"?ah more wisdom from the bison school of motoring, please do tell us more oh wise and beificent one

1) because he wasn't tought you should not be abusing him so let me see can you abuse the one who is responsible for that?

2) if he has been a brit i am so sure that you was gona smile at him and consider that maybe it is an intended mistake.... otherwise i really wish to see you trying to abuse someone like DaWorriar.

3) in point 1 you said they have not been tought ..which means this mistake is no (inexcusable) as you said .... look at your Contradiction.

4) i have seen a very polite policemen dubai that i can say they are more polite than policemen in AD. however there are always exceptions but lets assume there are some number of policement who are not behaving the way they should with public, why do you have to be like them? and why don't you report that to high rank officors ? and call it (points of improvements) rather than (complains)

5) so you like his way of shaking head and in return you abused him to make him have a crapy day?

6) if you continus thinking of ideas you will come up with some good ones rather than your behavior.

7) it is nice to read some usefull books about how to rasie kids rather than counting on your own experinces.

Yep - and when pulling an enormous boat so you can only see one of the lights and it looks like they're indicating (not that they would be of course).

I particularly like it when they are taking a phone call and put them on because they're driving really slowly and not concentrating. It seems to act as some sort of invincibility cloak, or at least they think it does!

I fancy a monster truck, and basically when they are on the phone I could just drive right over them, would be brilliant.

any one who attend a test need to pass it. but who ever is putting the test is responsible for the quality of the people who pass. i know it is a mistake from the police department.

they should make sure that who ever pass deserves that.

Some people smack their kids, some don't..... personal choice. But growing up if I did something wrong I would get belted for it. I wouldn't do it again.

I understand their are people who don't agree with it, fine your choice, it's just my opinion.

I've done my advanced driving and I've done lots of motorsport, I have been complimented on my driving skills on more than one occasion by British driver of the year John Gough, who has also been an advanced driving instructor for more than 30 years, so your comments about my driving are worthless.

Until you have seen me driving or sat in the passenger seat of my car, don't judge.

if you are speaking about the drivers who get to pass the test without deserving that .... their need to feed themselfs and their family by working is more than paying attention to rules and what's right or wrong .. but generally speaking ... their mistakes can be corrected.

but if you are speaking about the people who allow this to happen !! well .. their endless greed for money is gone far in many other and worse occasions.

And because of that you've grown up to be neither gay nor a wimp - right? Whereas if your parents hadn't smacked you it would have completely changed your sexuality????

I've smacked my kids on the odd occasion, that's not my problem, it's what you say will happen to kids that aren't smacked that has got my blood pressure up....:curse:
