Didn't take a genius to work this one out

From the same article "Top Gear, presented by Jeremy Clarkson, always put safety at the top of its list." "'Top Gear always observes stringent safety guidelines with regard to speed when it test drives any vehicle - whether it is on its test track or elsewhere,'" "Speed and aggressive driving is never glorified on the programme." From which you missed off the attribution: A BBC spokesman said. Anyway taking this deeply Off Topic, I'm wondering what will happen if Audi win at Le Mans this year. Will Jezza and the Hamster suddenly become dieselheads, or will they even notice? -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks" |

"David Martin" wrote in message oups.com... elyob wrote: Anyway, my point of view ... you can blame whatever you like (Heavy Metal & horror films for murder etc), but it's the individual who finally makes the decision. So, these are just excuses and not reasons. ITYM reasons, not excuses. They are a cause of the behaviour but do not excuse the behaviour.. I don't think so, I know where you are coming from, but I'm just saying that they are quoted as reasons behind the bad beahaviour but aren't IMO the actual reasons. The real reason, is someone being a ****. So, in a way they are excusing the drivers bad behaviour because "JC told me to do it". |

That is an old statement that the author quoted from an (extremely) anti-car organisation which is apparently sponsored and supported largely by those whose livelihoods depend upon the suppression of free-choice in transport options. It certainly isn't an authoritative or objective finding - it is rather ill-informed if anything. It certainly *wouldn't* take a genius to work that out. -- Matt B |
