Death on the roads - are we the only ones to blame?

BK, you can't complain about people dissing your "scientific fact" when you can't/won't provide a basis for it.

By the way, a mate's cousin saw a documentary on BBC 2 once that said 34% of all road accidents are caused by yodelling.

Scientific fact, I'm tellin' ya.....

I wouldn't go around thinking everything is true "because I read it on the interweb", but I equally refuse to post links to everything. TBH if your best argument is "I won't get off my hole to look it up so I must be lying" I just don't care.

Didn't say you were lying, just that when you present something as scientific fact backed up with a vague reference and then get annoyed because others question its validity as fact rather than opinion, I can't see any grounds for your complaint, really.

That's the worst thing about the Discussion Forum. Everyone has a poxy opinion. You can't come on here and have a decent discussion without some arsehole discussing your discussion. They argue with you, because they have an opinion, and even when they're wrong they still argue and discuss. And the worst one is when they make glib comments with nothing to back it up. They're a bit like the guy in the corner of the pub who buts into your conversation with a "Yer talkin' outta yer arse". And there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Bloody Discussion Forums. I hate them.

Some roads aren't suitable for the speed limits which adorn them. Huge potholes are also a massive danger, and poorly marked and poorly finished roadworks are also a danger all pretty unique to our fare little backwards island. Of course those bastards get away it, "sure that'll do grand".

So for some accidents I believe the county council / government can be blamed.

Is that your opinion or a fact?
