Then all age groups should be treated the same way aswell?

I think they should, not all young drivers are arseholes just like not all older drivers are saints.

Then all age groups should be treated the same way aswell?

There are pretty strong arguments for that, especially if you count years since last claim beyond 5 years.

I'd advocate regular retesting for all drivers too, every 10 years til 60, every 5 years after 60?

Looks like itsbruce and I made a lucky escape, or not.

The buses ended up being emptied and they started to turn them around and take them back east after about an hour.

Buses trying to do a 3 point turn on Oxford Street was a bit of a joke and the peds walking along completely oblivious to the giant vehicle backing up onto the pavement was rather scary. The guys who were helping the drivers with their manouvres were getting quite irate at people's indifference as they shuffled past at hometime.

Jon snow tells justine greening that an all line season ticket on trains anywhere in Germany is three grand.
Make that four and you've got a London Brighton yearly season
Who are these cunts that come into transport for a few months then leave.
Nothing said about home working.just if you need to travel at peak you're gonna pay more again.
It's fucking disgusting these venal self serving people are even allowed to govern us.

Cathy on C4 is getting really good these days though.

Words cannot express how angry I am that this cunt is effectively being let off with a slap on the wrist, and will not be standing down as an MP.

Does anyone really think that they'll actually release the risk register before we're sold down the river?

Give it time, it'll brew, he'll quit. Though I suspect his constituency would have been quietly proud of him headbutting four tories in a pub.

Course not. Don't you know it's a new trend...? Only releasing information about stuff after it's happened and when it's too late - see also the Olympic ticketing debacle.

seb coe: "we'll be 100 percent transparent about how the tickets were distributed - after the games, we're too busy now."

They did have very punchable faces.

Given the offence, I think the sentence is fairly harsh.

the most painful place to hit a scotsman
surely thats enough

News event of the decade. Some failed reality star turned reality star has fallen from grace after being papped smoking a silk cut while 7 months pregnant.

Stacey Solomon answers smoking critics on Loose Women, saying she's "tried to quit" - YouTube

What people forget, is that Stacey Solomon wouldn't be the woman she is today if her mother hadn't smoked kingsize bensons during her pregnancy, and her mother on the woodbines before her.

What people forget, is that Stacey Solomon wouldn't be the women she is today

Whoah, and you imply that that's not newsworthy?

She's let herself down, she's let her fans down, but above all she's let her unborn baby down. I for one will turn over the next time she is on TV, doing whatever it is she does

doing whatever it is she does

She's "mum of the year" according to Foxy Bingo dot com

The following days will be good for planet spotting

I hear the anti hate dollar is a big dollar these days
