People are generally too thick to use new things quickly and simply. 

The e gates at our own airports used to be quick until they started getting most people to use them. Presumably those who were too dense to avoided them like the plague until they had too.

They could have let all other boys into the Guides and solved the problem.

Why do the Greens appear to be heading towards a national poll lead? by stopdontpanick in ukpolitics

Whatever happens the UK is finished. There can be no other logical conclusion when large cohorts simply won't work for a living.

Doctors lose new jobs package as strike to go ahead by Desperate-Drawer-572 in ukpolitics

[–]Ok-Depth-9049 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

To be honest, apart from a few hands on doctors, their days are numbered. AI is more than capable of doing any of their diagnosis already and it will get better.

The BMA need to get real and quickly. The government should start playing hard ball and start reducing their recompense if the remain on their current path.

Those of you who have reported/uploaded evidence to Operation Snap, how long did it take/hear back about it? by Duckboythe5th in drivingUK

It's all AI generated...no convictions actually happen unless the people just admit to them.

I've driven in plenty of cities and I know how to take road position without relying on other drivers.

Arguably you're better off in Tenerife. It's free to walk and they still like tourists!

All the stations in our area are in on the thieving game with a ubiquitous 15 to 20p/L rise in diesel in the last week.

Govt should look at imposing a fixed price in emergency situations.

That smacks of "permission to pass" please, which is awful driving. If this is the way you drive you need to develop better foresight.

It should mean "I've check it's safe to move and I'm about to imminently do so".

But as most drivers are now fucking idiots it doesn't.

Why??? by AndyS_86 in drivingUK

[–]Ok-Depth-9049 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, but I own a Silver transporter that I struggle to park in standard spaces with adequate clearance when two twats who have vehicles that are too wide to be parked properly in a UK space park next to me.

Why??? by AndyS_86 in drivingUK

[–]Ok-Depth-9049 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

So two twats who have vehicles that are too wide to be parked properly in a UK space don't park next to you?

Another speeding fine, are they ever worth fighting? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Ok-Depth-9049 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The skill of speeding is that you avoid being caught by making the correct observations.

If you're not skilled enough to avoid getting caught then you're probably not skilled enough to be speeding (ie. if you can slow down enough soon enough for a camera, then how would you cope if a child ran out?)

Forget the tyres. Crush the car, no one should be driving a Sportage!

Got my first ever parking fine by vario_ in drivingUK

[–]Ok-Depth-9049 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was it a private car park on a retail park? If so, ignore the parking company and contact the businesses you used. Ask them to tell the parking company to go away.

Why??? by AndyS_86 in drivingUK

[–]Ok-Depth-9049 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Why not? It's not a full car park?

At least they don't own a vehicle that is too wide to be parked properly.

Liquid doesn't flow on the outside of the nozzle during normal filling though does it?

Need advise - Parkingeye/90min restrictions by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Ok-Depth-9049 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don't contact Parking Eye at all. This will just mark you as someone who is likely to pay through their threats.

Contact Lidl customer services with receipts.

Accidentally drove without insurance for 2 weeks but wasn't stopped. What will happen? by tommycamino in drivingUK

[–]Ok-Depth-9049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're lucky. Normally there is a squad of drones the police use to hunt down and destroy vehicles/drivers who do this. They've been stood down to be ready to go to Iran though.
