505624 2006-12-10 20:25:00 Awesome!

It would be a bummer if you didn't know you were turning into a bus lane though. Ouch!

And I thought turning into a frog would be grim!

When do we get one to keep buses out of car lanes?

Scientifically speaking, I'd say that if you hit one, Newton's third law would dictate that you've just muntered your car.

505628 2006-12-11 22:24:00 in the last one with the 2 vans - the guy in the white van actually face plants the windscreen and you can see the smashed bit in the windscreen :waughh: and go the crazy blonde in the starlet ;) MAC_H8ER (5897)
505629 2006-12-11 23:46:00 Hmm. A mechanised enforcement scheme. If guilty of intrusion, instant penalty. Seatbelt not fastened? That will be extra.

A bit like the legendary Irish breathalyser-
"Would yez just breathe over this candle sorr?
And if youse had a drop or two, moight I recommend not breathin' in any sooner than yez can help sorr." :waughh:

and a minor diatribe on Lucas and their demise,which never cease's to fascinate.

His policy would do something the same, but directed at the populace, ie a vertical cylindrical implement applied to the nether regions to induce a slow-down. In his case, a truncheon to the wallet.
