I did. Someone mentioned earlier, something along the lines of "just because someone is from another country, doesn't make them a bad driver" well sorry, but in India the driving test is to drive along a road, turn left, turn right, sound the horn, and stop. As 78dude said, the learning procedure in Finland is the most stringent in the world, it takes years of training to get a license. Ice driving, powerslides, the difference between front and rear wheel drive, etc. Learning to drive there is a bit like studying an A level.
The UK test is borderline farsical. I've seen many brilliant drivers fail repeatedly, and I'm sure you've all seen dopey drivers that have passed but shouldn't be allowed in charge of a scalextric car.

I'm partly of foreign decent, but it feels like a large part of me is dead already, so no need to kill the foreign part. Fiona, technically you only "should be shot" if you're a foreign "driver" - stay away from the cars and m4xos should stay away from you.beemerbird wrote:Erm, I am a foreigner, so if anyone going to the Lakeside meet wants to bring a gun along to put me out of my misery.....

Well, can someone fit him with a tracking device, then, so I can avoid his location during my drive outs?Cloud wrote:I'm partly of foreign decent, but it feels like a large part of me is dead already, so no need to kill the foreign part.

YEA HE HAD TO GIVE ME THAT CAUSE THAT WAS HIS ROAD HE JUST PULLED OUT OF AND HE RAN BACK TO GET HIS INSURANCE POLICY, VERY NAUGHTY BLOKE!!

Again, Im sorry for your loss of the car you loved so much!
I was my self a Norwegian based in the UK for about 4 years and I dont feel offended, I live for the moment in Sweden so Im still a 3rd party guy in the country I stay in now. But for all of you guys who fell the geographi test, Sweden is the neigbour country of Norway so in a way this is like my home country...
Accidents on roads happends all the time, where ever you are in the world, they even crash their cars in Sweden to, and some of them is British people who take their E39 540iA on a trip to Northen Sweden during winter time and they dont bother to change tyers, so some times they must fly back home with a plane because they discover for the very first time, that combination summer tyers and snow and ice dosent fit like a hand in a glove so they hit an elk, other cars or they cant keep in on the road. Back in Sweden it is a wrek of an RHD BMW with British plates who will never see British roads again.
As long as this stupid imigrant had a valid car insurance, I do not see what is the problem!
Next time it the person who started this tread who crash into an Italian Ferrari some where on the European main land and that will not be a cheap meal to eat?
Just my two cents from the cold Sweden

Mind you a mate of mine was nearly killed in Germany when he was doing well over 140 in an Escort Cosworth!
The thing was it wasnt his fault it was the polish guy comeing up the autobahn the wrong way in a lada!!!! needless to say he spent many a month in hospital.
But saying that it happens a lot in europe, cars going the wrong way up the autobahn, called ghost drivers.

whats the point in arguing its not just foreigners that have no insurance etc etc? it wasnt anyone else that crashed into him but this specific uninsured foreigner.
edit your title to "uninsured foreign drivers should be shot" and perhaps folk would have a bit more sympathy. i know if it was me id be crashing through his door to take it out on his face.
