    @Canyon48 – “This.” is not a a sentence.  “This:” could be the start of one.

    Next?

    Let’s return to normal sprocket talk.

    I agree with you on all of the above except for @Canyon48’s use of ‘This’.

    It has become commonly accepted on internet forums (and therefore, perhaps, now in offline life) as meaning (and I know you know this) ‘to agree with the previous / above comment’. It’s slang. It’s part of the evolution of the language. It’s here to stay. Embrace its use, even if you choose not to use it yourself.

    Anyway, road.cc is the last place you should visit if you’re searching for a bastion of the English language. And, maybe, get over yourself.

    Shouldn’t that be “road.cc”?

    This.

    I was living in a village close to Bristol until this summer, rarely ever saw police in the local area, loads of locals drove home drunk after being to the pub, loads of people driving whilst on their phones…

    I now live further in the South West, there really is no traffic police around here… Plenty of yokels driving without tax/MOT/insurance, I doubt they have licences either.

    I could easily drive without tax/MOT/insurance and I would have no worries about getting caught.
