Divorce Your Car --and get into a relationship with a Bike!

I think nothing else needs to be said.

I've been saying for years that penalties for reckless driving should
vary with the listed weight of the vehicle. That would promp drivers
to not buy the huge SUVs and if they did, to drive them carefully. If
you say are caught doing 80 in a 60 in a 2000 pound car, you pay a
$500. Do the same in a 6000 pound 'Burb and the fine is $2500 and
license suspension for 6 months. Stop coddling these killers.


They need to do as in some european countries. The cost of the ticket
should be based on the driver's income. In most cases, the resulting
fine would have the same effect.

A 500 bucks ticket ($100,000 for Donald Trump) for zigzaging around
normal cars would be a good lesson for the SUV.

Also special license should be required for SUVs, tougher regulations
(no phone for sure) and lower bumper. (And no bumper stickers "We
support our troops.")

1) you're responding to a troll
2) that would definitely violate the "...cruel and unusual..." provisions.

OK, bring on the definition of troll, and if you prove it applies to
me, I won't be posting at this forum again.

The same thing happened to the Black Sheep who was expelled by some of
the regular sheep because they thought the predator in sheep's clothing
was their friend. Of course, the predator also gave them special
treatment and didn't fleece them that often.

How about a sticker that says "Our troops support this gas-guzzler".

Yeah, at least they would be more honest. It would explain WHY they
support our troops.

Wrong. That is MY saying and I have it copyrighted. I even have it
tattooed right above my wife's ****. For the price of $5,000,000 I
will sell you the copyright.

Maybe you meant something else. I mean "RIDE A BIKE!"

I'd have to see it to believe it.

Mine got a tatoo that goes, "YOU ARE WELCOME TO PLAY IN MY JUNGLE!"
(See my jungle stories below)

The one above is $10,000,000, but I'm reasonable.

You say that like that's not a good enough reason.

Animals have a place in my world. On the plate next to the potatoes. G

I'm a member of PETA: People for the Eating of Tasty Animals.

But then there are those of us that are supposed to eat 8 oz of meat a day
and can't eat the subsitutes for whatever reason.

Really, I'm against animal cruelty, but the people at PETA are way too far
to the LEFT on this one.
