Driving Ambition


Robert Gifford, executive director of the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS), has suggested that prospective drivers in Britain should be given psychometric tests because some drivers have the "wrong attitude to the road."

Meanwhile, drivers have suggested that Robert Gifford should be given psychometric tests because he has the "wrong attitude to freeborn Englishmen who have had it up to the back teeth with jumped-up, micromanaging, technocratic busybodies."

    Can someone smack Mr. Gifford with a rolled up copy of the Magna Carta? Preferably one with a lead paperweight inside...

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
