Europe decrees that for reason of pedestrian safety, as with petrol cars, electric cars must be audible. This ought to do it :D !

Citroen recalled more than 20,000 C3 Picasso due to fault with brakes, which in right-hand conversions can be activated from the passenger footwell :shock: .

Umm, did they leave the brake pedal on the left !

This is not funny:

Xavier Tondo has been tragically killed in a freak accident involving his garage door, according to media reports in Spain.

Haven't seen the exact cause, but maybe it is one of those car-left-in-Park and it moved.

"GOLD RUSH" Alaska :shock:

Just been watching "Gold Rush". About the bold gold prospectors who came up from Oregon during the 2009 financial crisis. They hocked everything they had & bought a gold claim. Took all the mining gear, diggers, shakers, trucks & set up home from home amongst the bears. Totally admire their amazing pluck & spirit. Really one of the best all-risk adventures I've ever seen 8) .

Wow, great car jump. Looks like they didn't balance the car to compensate for the driver's weight on the left side.

:shock:

And they almost didn't make the landing ramp long enough either. All that technical crap offset by huge balls. A lesson there somewhere.

Seriously though, the UK is supposed to have strict lane discipline on the highway - in a three lane highway, only the inside lane is meant for continued driving. The two outer lanes are for overtaking. (Though nowadays traffic volume negates that). The system is intended so that no-one can sneak in up the inside lane and thus jeopardise safety.

However, where traffic flow is erratic, one may pass on the inside. This has been fully exploited by these opportunistic drivers who take pride in flouting theirs chests :roll: . Hahaha ! Hence, due to the distractions, the accident rate for male drivers is much higher, and thus insurance :evil: .

Well, well. What is a left-handed lemon (when the molecular form is right-handed instead of left-handed).

ANSWER: An Orange :shock: .

Ever done ladder safety. I did some rigourous stuff. Two days stuck in a classroom learning all sorts of hazards.

Ladders were the best:

4 rungs max before you need a harness.
No step beyond two treads from the top.

Now, here's payback - they give me a two-step pair of steps. Sorry, can't use that, I say. Rules state can't use top two steps. So I gotta stay on the ground . :lol:
