Jeez ... not a nice place over there :shock:

Which is part and parcel of what makes MC what it is. Our Mods very rarely need to step in and members playing by the "rules" make it a nice place to be.

I can't think of any other fora where flame wars aren't a daily occurence.
I don't think we've even got near a flame war in the two and a half years we've been running.

Not so much to do with the Admin and Moderators but the members.

If you're in Devon, and it's that remote, chances are they would send one of the Air Ambulances :wink:

Budgie:
For me I feel that if you're banned then you're banned.
If you're caught driving while banned then you should get a ban for life as you've demonstrated you have no respect for the laws of the road or the other people who use them, so why should be given the privilage back?
Get caught a second time and lock 'em up as they are a danger to public!

With regards to drink driving:
0% blood/alchohol limit on the roads, that way everyone knows the limit they can drink too and still pass the test and be safe to drive!

I thought I was the only idiot who thought like that.

A driving license is not a fundamental human right, it is a privilege, and it should be considered as such. If you drive while banned, you should be sent to prison, full stop. It is not a case of wether it should be acceptable or not. It is against the law, and it is against common sense.

Oh, and regarding that argument "they could have been fine drivers before being disqualified" and such, my reply is short and concise:  "MANURE!!!!" (read it as you like).

Hightower:
I have to say, if you're banned, you're banned.  End of.

But, if I were in that situation (for whatever reason) and my daughter or wife needed urgent medical attention there would be nothing that anybody could do to stop me getting behind the wheel of a car in order to drive them to it.
