Welcome to the liberal world of morons!

Chairman of the bench Ken Buck said: “We accept that there are times when you can drive with one hand, but, in holding an apple while negotiating a left hand turn, we consider you not to have been in full control.

Please note the as they drive on the left in England, a left-hand turn is the easy one like "right-on-red" is here. You do not have to cross any other lanes of traffic.

“It is vital that motorists are in proper control of their vehicles at all times and are fully concentrating on their driving.

“The magistrates supported this and found the defendant guilty.”


Sounds like the Magistrates don't have the capacity to concentrate on driving even without an apple.

Then she should have crashed, shouldn't she?

I guess they would hang this woman.

How is that different from driving with a stick shift? Would a one-armed driver be penalized?

That lawyer must've sucked.

Coming soon to America, probably either in NYC or some California city.

This just in:

Woman cited for reading her mail while walking back into her house.

Magistrate: "She wasn't concentrating on where her feet were stepping, could have tripped and then needed an expensive ambulance trip to take her to the socialist hospital."

An apple? A single apple? Try squeezing a cell phone between your ear and shoulder, holding a coffee, shifting gears and ...steering with a knee.

“This is all about trying to crush her because she is the one who stood up and said ‘this is silly’,” the solicitor told the court. “The police service and the CPS do not like to be told they are silly.”

I deem this thread to be extremely silly and demand that it cease immediately.

One bad apple spoils the.......Oh, never mind.

How much did Eve get fined for holding the apple that enticed Adam?

[ApplegateRanch]

Strap these idjit magistrates into a NASCAR cockpit for a few laps. They'll never complain about such technical 'violations' again.

Or, if you really want to upset them, put them on the SF/Oakland Bay Bridge approaches Friday afternoon/evening.

From my perspective, I never eat lunch, slurp diet Coke, talk on the phone while negotiating passing a vehicle in my standard transmission BMW at 90 mph.

The best bumper sticker I have seen states, "Hang Up, and Drive."

Tinfoil hat on, wearing Nomex, and the Simpson 5-point harness cinched, and the Sig is chambered.

BTW, does anyone think that Caroll Shelby developed the 1964 AC Cobra Cobra wearing perfume, having his nails done driving a modified AC Bristol (289 cu in roller-tappet Ford mill) at 137 mph?

I cannot count the number of times that I have been on projects where personnel walk from their offfices towards their cars and fire up their dopey cell phones. Too many insecure people on this planet.

Yes, I have a cell phone (Nokia Personal Communicator) that I bought in Luzerne Switzerland three years ago which is also a computer; cost $U$D 600. I have only used it once from the BMW while in motion.

Evidentally an apple a day won't keep the prosecutor away.
