    Another crazy assumption on your part... you just haven't understood yet have you? *sigh*

    Unless I see a post on here directed at me from someone who I consider to be at least an intellectual equal, I will not be making any further comments.

    But your original comment that started off this whole different argument was hardly intellectual was it? :rolleyes:

    I was pointing out your ludicrous comment that police pull people because they are black, basically accusing the whole police force of being racist. Then you have the cheek to say its me making assumptions, maybe you should look the word up in a dictionary as you obviously don't understand its meaning.
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    Norant. First name Ig? :rolleyes:


    Pendulum,you are back and forth:rolleyes: with your excuses.

    You are just hacked off because you are losing an argument that kind of started off ok but then got increasingly pathetic because you brought race into it.

    Statistics....Oh my good grief,do you live your life by statistics? your £500.00 banger is statistically more likely to be pulled over because it is a banger and is more prone to be used as a joyriding toy,as another poster pointed out to you.

    Older cars are generally....? and on this i am making an assumption,less likely to be insured,or have an Mot,or even fit to be on the road.and a vast majority of joyriders are generally Teenagers so lets look at it from the polices point of view.


    Your in a banger

    You look young,like a teenager perhaps!

    Simple equasion for me if i was a police officer,pull him over and check.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I can't remember the last time I saw a Police vehicle on the road. I can remember the last time I saw someone using a mobile at the wheel, (this morning). It seems the risk of getting caught is so small that people take that chance.

    Just to complete the stereotype of a moody teenager you just quickly need to add that all life is pain and that you're going to your room.

    What a classy comment. In other words "If you don't agree with me you're an idiot".
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything

    Here is a usefull and constructive comment, most modern phones have a dictaphone facility, which you were using at the time , you were not making a phone call, worth remembering should you find yourself in the situation ever again

    Im sure i saw on the National BBC news this morning that there is a force..I think it is Dorset that is cracking down on dangerous driving,there you will get three points or go on a drivers awareness course if you are seen to be eating at the wheel,applying make up,reading maps,changing the station on the radio.

    Not to sure about the rules and area as i was busy when it came on,could someone clarify if i am right.
