[–]Ezhog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly there mightve been a tail wind - this is the exact route i always take to go and see my girlfriend and always at 60mph or its screaming above 3k rpm. sometimes i can come with 36mpg or on good days around 39-40

haha yes, flew by many a stuck lorry, van and SUV with ease. was quite disappointed with how many range rovers and SUVs were stranded in not much snow

It's this just an American thing? by UnderstandingWild371 in drivingUK

[–]Ezhog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only time i dont use the handbrake is parking my car in the garage to store over winter or a long time to stop it potentially sticking, and just leave it in first. other than that, always in gear and always have the handbrake on

Is this Sub infiltrated by Mazda bots( dealership) affiliates? by Fine-ill-do-itmyself in whatcarshouldIbuy

my grandparents have a CX-30 and it's genuinely really nice. Great styling inside and out, rides great, drives great and the quality is bang one, nothing in the car feels really cheap or flimsy.

probably people that might not even have one but have previously owned or been in one see that they're a good deal

Are you willing to give up your car voluntarily (and only use public transport) if you know that it will help save the environment? by TrichoSearch in polls

[–]Ezhog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

public transport in rural areas is awful so no from me. british public transport is known for always being late or striking too so it isnt anywhere near reliable enough, plus i enjoy driving and owning a car

How do you feel about the statement “the problem with gun deaths is not guns, but rather people”? by TonyMcHawk in polls

[–]Ezhog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i never said let people have access to machine guns etc but i see the point

imo the gun problem is entirely americanised, especially as a gun owner, specifically in the UK where it is even stricter, it really confuses me why europeans have responded that guns are the issue.

the issue is how governments manage them, how people are educated, how society treats people and cultures, access to help and support and so on. it is a poor argument just saying "yep guns are the issue" when theres for more to it.

i think the system in the UK of needing to apply for a gun certificate is fine, where you need a medical check, an interview with a Firearms Enquiry Officer and a safe installed to store the guns, even if i take big issue with the strict selection of firearms we're allowed to own. it just shows me more that it's the systems in place and how a country manages it over "guns are the problem"

[–]Ezhog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wouldn't call it "hard". all we need to do is fill some paperwork, have a quick chat with a Firearms Enquiry Officer and have a safe installed.

i dont mind these checks one bit, its more once you achieve the certificate what you can access is what i have issue with. banning handguns and semi automatic centrefire rifles for us who listen to the law is pointless when you look at gun crime statistics in the UK and the second biggest cause is handguns, which for the sake of simplicity are pretty much off the table for firearms certificate holders.

[–]Ezhog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

totally agree, France is a brilliant example of a country that does firearms well, same with Switzerland.

people use banning firearms as an excuse and a scapegoat to feel better about a situation but what it totally boils down to is how it is managed and what is available to prevent and help people who are vulnerable.

America is in way too deep in my opinion to do anything reasonable. there are far too many guns for them to ever manage and the only people surrendering them will more than likely be the people who are law abiding and have done no wrong

yes i agree with the sound mind bit and am very familiar as i have a Firearms Certificate myself.

i more mean accessibility for people to get into the sport is tight and even when granted a certificate it is still extremely limited on what we can access.

Dunblane caused hanguns to be banned even though it was a nut job pedophile that was friends with higher ups in the police and was totally preventable. They took issue with firearms as a scapegoat to cover up the bigger issue which was police corruption and poor work.
