Thanks for all the replies. Whilst it went a wee bit off topic (no halm no foul) I'm glad most got something out of it.

The issue is how often do we hear of people being caught driving whilst suspended - the penalties aren't harsh enough imo.
Thanks for the update mate.

I can only admit that in my younger years I was at times a danger to myself & other road users.
The racetrack is so much MORE fun & harder with FAR less consequences (generally).
In 29 years of driving I've lost it on the road 3 times. Only once written off a car (mine) & never any personal injuries.
PROBABLY LUCKY...definatetly stupid.. 2 times was drunk.
PLS be gentle on the road...IT BITES OTHERS ASWELL AS YOU !!!

yet another horrific tragedy.

when will the powers responsible learn, that young, inexperienced drivers and heavy, powerful vehicles don't mix.

With the way people drive, I often worry about my wife and 2 young kids out and about, all in one car. It only takes one idiot to take their lives and all I have.

Driving a car around stupidly, is like waving a gun around in public. You don't think it's going to go off, but it might and you're gonna hurt or kill someone at random. So everyone needs to think before throwing 2 tons of metal around in public, because these are people you could hurt, with lives, hopes and dreams and families, they're not just objects at your mercy.
