Indeterminate jail term for killer driver?

"Brimstone" gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying:

How does any of that prevent someone suffering a heart attack whilst
driving Doug?

It minimises the number of people who are likely to kill as a result of
a heart attack, obviously.

How does it do that Doug? Perfectly fit people suffer heart attacks with
no warning at ll.

Y'know, I think Duhg might be onto something.

All we need do is to get the NHS to fund complete health checks for
everybody in the country, every 6 months or so, and we've got a nation of
IMMORTALS! Since no other aspect of the NHS would be required, the
overall budget could be reduced massively.

Duhg for minister of health!

One wonders why driving tests are so lax, and taxation and justice so
slight, as to allow so many people to get behind the wheel and then
present a serious threat to others. Isn't it long overdue that this
widespread menace should finally be reigned in and reduced to
reasonable proportions, if killing people can ever be considered
'reasonable'?

You must agree that it is important to
get as many killers as possible off our roads?

In which vein Doug, when are you going to give up using the roads? You
admitted that you're not fit enough to retain proper control of your
bicycle. Imagine the consequences if you lost control and veered into
the path of a car forcing the driver to swerve and knock over another
cyclist. Could you live with yourself?


He would be able to retain control if he was on a railway platform.

No, no, no. It'd be the car driver's fault.

Duh! Fewer cars = fewer crashes.

I probably wouldn't have to.

A driving licence is a licence to kill.

No firstly drivers would have to fund their own health checks and this
would REDUCE health related crashes/killings not eliminate them.
Obviously unfit drivers would lose their licences.

Surely this should be for all road users?

It's about time cyclists were made to pass a test, have insurance and
a number plate on their bikes

How so Doug?

Obviously unfit drivers would lose their licences.

As they do now. But what about those who are not "obviously" unfit Doug?

But how are we going to end up with fewer cars if everyone is found to be
healthy?
