Get an automatic

It almost sounds like you are implying that drivers obey the speed LIMITS there.
Everybody just speeds here.

You'd need to be an IDIOT to adhere to speed limits on highways here....3-4 lane highways with limits of 90/110kmh which is a joke. I've tried going at those speeds and my eyelids immediately feel heavier.

They're too complicated.

For town driving pretty much everyone here does, country roads and motorways are a different matter.

We dont have anything more than 2 lanes here and some drivers think they're being safe by driving 20mph below the limit.

The thing I do have a problem with is the people who have no idea how to cross a road safely which is the root of the problem and isnt being addressed but will be made worse by these changes. there may be a small reduction in injuries due to this but there is going to be an increase in instances of drivers having to brake for stupid pedestrians.

Here in Kansas, I can speak for other states, pedestrians have the right of way on the PAVEMENT (roads are called pavement here), so if they step out in front of you and you hit them, it's your fault, same as if a pedestrian walks behind you when reversing out of a parking space, it happens a lot. it's a serious issue in my view. If a pedestrian has no damn road sense, then it's their own damn fault that they got run over for being a dumbass.

Yep, a driver pulling out into moving traffic and causing it to stop or take avoiding action would be considered dangerous driving, I don't know why the same doesn't apply to pedestrians.

I saw that earlier on my fb feed and was fascinated by the photoshop skills by Calkin Klein there, except they missed her face. Its weird seeing a girls face on a guys body.

[LiamCatterson]

lol they trying to make Bieber into a better person with that picture so all the female teenagers can die of happiness. Might be sick xD

[stonemonkey]

The site that posted it has taken it off under threat from Beeber's people who are claiming it's been photoshopped the other way around.
The official image shows his back to be like the american werewolf in london so not sure if i'm buying that.

They're just pissed that Calvin Klein enhanced his 'package' by that much, showing he's actually all cameltoe down there....simply because he's a chick. Worst kept secret ever.
