I favour the spiked steering wheel boss myself, although for maximum
psychological impact the spike would ideally be mounted about 14"
lower.

A better example of the social reinforcement of bullying would be
hard to find.


The steering wheel spike is frequently quoted by police as being the
only real item that would stop people riving like idiots.

PL is only repeating what I've seen on telly several times.

But we are only repeating what has been said by those who have to deal
with the everyday mess that with is caused by poor and inconsiderate
drivers.
More than one person having seen or heard similar remarks from those
qualified to investigate and interpret vehicle crashes are not engaged
in some form of bullying.
Real life - not something you seem to be that familiar with.

Or is it just that you are jumping on the 'hate Doug' bandwagon which is
is obvious bullying.
