    As I've said countless times, if the person giving me a lift insists on me wearing a seatbelt, I will do so. Anyone outside of the vehicle I'm in has no business telling me to wear a seatbelt, as they cannot be harmed by it.

    So scraping your jellied remains off the road, or going to explain to your loved ones (i use the phrase lightly) why you're not coming home isn't harmful or distressing?

    You really do beggar belief for your self centred attitude!

    It may well have been covered already but if you injure yourself by being stupid it will still be the responsibility of Police and NHS to scoop you up and take care of you. It's not pleasant for them and takes up a chunk of resources that could be used elsewhere.

    If you don't like the NHS saving everyone no matter what, vote Tory like I do and reduce the amount of taxes they suck up. We should all pay for our own healthcare (either by insurance or as needed), it's the only fair way.

    The only person who should ever decide a risk for themselves is themselves. Anything else is purely illogical.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, i introduce you to the typical Leave Voter.
    Obnoxious, arrogant, uneducated, no grasp on reality, selfish, insecure, short tempered, self centered.

    Please don't feed the troll..this one appears fat enough as it is...

    to be fair ive seen garages that wont fit your own part costing say £30, from as local motorfactors... then go and buy the same part from the same motor factors just to add a big mark up on it. if you are paying full price labour rates that would also make me !!!!ed of.


    lad next door said he failed an MOT due to a light on because of the water temp sensor... calls somebody ( mech ) who said ye ill pick one up from ECP but its going to cost you £70 fitted. i found out and went and found the part for him on ECP costing £9. so the lad who was going to fit it was telling him itll be £40 for the part LOL, and the fitting was a single plug and a plastic prong holding it in place. less than 3 minutes work.

    A garage doesn't sell me parts, they fit them, that's their job.

    Where do the parts come from?

    Would that be your reply after caution?
