# I don't have any seatbelts
my doors are optional and my windscreen folds down
Signs are easily missed if you are watching stupid pedestrians walking about all over your road in a strange place you've never been, *SUDDENLY BOLLARDS* is not something you expect to see if your following a bus in the hope that'll come out somewhere not lost...

The Land Rover is superior

# no...
I drive a 1954 86" Series 1 Land Rover
Vehicles before 1964 don't need seatbelts
Vehicles before 1973 don't need to pay roadtax
If you're car is older than (i forget) 1933 or something like that, you don't even need a speedo!
A car fitted without any lights (not originally fitted with any) may only be driven during the day but reflectors must be fitted
Who needs seatbelts anyways? When you're top speed is 55mph and your average is 40mpg - i've fallen off my pushbike faster than that!

# They should totally stop enforcing local bylaws
so that you can drive a clown car.
Anyway, if you don't need seatbelts, what are you on about?

# Yes you,
you with the "oh my car is far to old to comply with the same basic safety legislation that applies to everyone else therefore I should be allowed to drive without due care and attention through no-entry signs"

# ...where did you get that idea from?
I was mearly stating, that IF i was new to that town, which I would be, and there are that many numpties walking in the road and I missed the sign because someone had a big head and was standing infront of it, I would not be expecting a pair of bollards to be jumping out underneath my car, the fact of the matter is that people do have lapses of concentration, sometimes by a kid screaming in the back (note the black thing) - its a stupid idea and dangerous

# I'm just not entirely sure why your particular eccentric choice of transport is relevant to anything.

# its not
i'm going to bed
(oh and it was in regard to having cushions everywher... like modern cars - make you feel more safer with all those cushiony things like airbags and seatbelts and crumble zones - just put a great big spike on the steering wheel n watch everyone slow down...)

# oh yeah,
good point. I fucking hate airbags. I was in a car last week with airbags down the sides of the windscreen. Win for "crash safety" over visibility. But it gets them points in consumer something or others.
