🖊️🤔 Angry Brit about the laws in the Communist Republic of Great Britain: “UK road law doesn’t protect you — it *punishes* you for expecting it to. You’re on a two-way street. Parked cars on your side. You slow down, give way, stop — you do everything right. Then one car overtakes, then two, then three — all on the oncoming side — forcing you to stay put. And if it ends in a crash? Guess what. You might be **50% at fault**. Because under UK liability rules, it’s not about who broke the law — it’s about who *could’ve avoided it*. Never mind Rule 163. Never mind right of way. If you didn’t brake early enough, if you didn’t anticipate a chain of idiots rushing past, then you’re partly to blame. That motorcyclist in Powell v Moody? 80% at fault for being overtaken near a junction — despite the other driver pulling out. In Leeson v Bevis? 50/50 split — because the biker “should’ve seen it coming. So yeah. The law says one thing. The courts do another. You follow the rules. You drive safely. And still — you lose your no-claims. You pay more. You get treated like you were reckless. Welcome to UK roads: where doing the right thing isn’t enough. And if you crash? You’ll be punished for not being psychic.”

Drive on a blue light, for an emergency, if you are involved in an accident, often the blue light driver gets done. Your driving license, not a corporate one!
