I don't think I have ever seen a taxi driver operate their vehicle for more than about 60 seconds without committing a driving violation.

It's like they think that it's their job to drive stupidly. But the absolute worst is the way they park, they just stop the car in the middle of the damn road. But it's all right because they've turned on their hazards.

such as a quick look at the sat nav, neglecting to signal, or any short-lived distraction – might result in prosecution and a driving disqualification.

I hate people that don't indicate. Especially on roundabouts because now I have to wait for them to decide what they're doing. How hard is it to flick a switch?

Anyway I already thought these things were driving violations, I don't understand what's different are they just now enforcing the rule?

It does explain the tendency of drivers in North Yorkshire to drive around tiny country lanes at 50 miles an hour.

Well no they discourage fast driving, and discouraging fast driving means there are less fast drivers, and therefore accidents are less likely.

I don't understand why people feel the need to drive fast anyway, it hardly has any effect on your arrival time unless you're travelling literally 200 yd.

If you're going to drive at 40 in a 20 then frankly I have no sympathy, you're an asshole and you deserve to be taken to the cleaners.

Yeah they won't even discuss it, we'll just get the same boilerplate response we got last time.

Surely the opposite should be true. It just shows that countries cannot leave the EU because it is far too damaging to their economy

The hostility from the EU about the UK rejoining (especially from France) tells me that's not likely to happen.

The UK petition ends before the EU petition so my guess is that they'll give us some canned response before the end of the month. In their heads that will end the discussion.

It was extremely clear what the previous petition was, it was just they weren't interested in doing anything so they intentionally misunderstood.

Who? I seriously have no idea who you're talking about.

I honestly think that the main reason this has kicked off is that up until about a week ago it wasn't really advertised. I didn't even know that it started the petition up again, I knew the original one failed because parliament closed and for some reason that meant the petition had to end.

The ego on this guy is just unprecedented. It's Borderlands, most people can take it or leave it.

I have Teams (New) as well as New Teams

Teams (New) is the next version of teams except I literally don't know what they've done because I can't see any difference.

New Teams appears to be a totally different project except again it looks identical but the calendar is different, they've actually managed to make the calendar worse, which is impressive since it was pretty goddamn unusable to start with.

I don't understand why they have two development strands going on simultaneously.

There's also Microsoft PowerBi. Just a wonderfully descriptive name.

360 was a big hit because everyone wanted to play halo. Honestly outside of that I don't think there was any other exclusives. At least none that I can remember

I feel like wearing that would make me a target.

No I'm sure that's an absolutely wonderful use of their time. Maybe they can post about this on Twitter rather than the 3g of weed that they seized.

Make sure the dealer gives you a receipt.

Yeah we had that training. Not that anyone ever offers me bribes anyway.

It's like all the lies about the drug dealers giving kids free drugs. Never happens.

I have no problem with MPS being compensated for their time the problem is they've been compensated despite not doing their jobs. Don't turn up to parliament and don't have a good reason, is it because you're randomly in the US well I guess he wasn't doing your job. No payment.

Any work that MPS do in addition to their jobs as MPS has to be done entirely out of hours and cannot interfere with their duties.

He didn't make any moves so I'm not sure if I should be insulted or not.
