The government is changing the rules about seat belts and the not wearing thereof. They’re going to change the current fine to a bigger fine and 3 points on your driving licence. And that seems so… so 1984 compared to somewhat bigger motoring problems.

Who doesn’t wear a seat belt? Do we then care that they don’t? I mean really ‘care’? If they’re so stupid and they get hurt as a consequence, awful though it may be, tough shit. I’m wearing mine, I’m alright Jack/Joan/neutral-name.

Whereas the tossers, those imbeciles incapable of breathing without holding their phones, they are a far greater problem. And their stupidity affects ME!

Tests have shown that 62% of all drivers are looking at their phones 73% of the time. Which, mathematically, explains why they drive into things. Worse still, and patently more obvious a ‘crime’, is those who check their phones at traffic lights. They’ll be the ones just sitting there oblivious to all but their device when the light goes green. The ones who need hooting at, really aggressively and prolonged-ly. Because you’re not allowed to deploy a baseball bat whilst at the wheel of a car.

Obviously, drivers of electric cars are allowed more phone time whilst driving because they are superior people generally and may be using the app on their phone to… put more charge in their vehicle’s dying battery or something which us fossil fuelers know nothing about.

Either way, seat belt avoiders, whatever, but phone tossers/zombies? Death penalty. Loss of licence, forEVER! Solitary confinement with NO PHONE.

That’s it, rant over, done it now, got it out of my system, feeling lots better, thanks for asking.

Happy Wednesday
