Scamera Valentine Heartbreak
A cruel deception by the London ‘Safety’ Camera Partnership was today described as “sick and offensive” by the Association of British Drivers.
Fake valentine cards, sent to young drivers throughout the region, feature a picture of an overturned crashed car that had hit a tree with the message: “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to kill you. I was driving too fast. I really miss you.”
ABD Chairman Brian Gregory asked: “How low can these people sink? One can imagine happy youngsters opening their mail with the excitement of receiving a valentine card from a girlfriend, boyfriend or admirer – only to be confronted with this.”
He continued: “The most horrifying aspect is that it is likely that some of those receiving this card will have lost a loved one. One can only begin to imagine the anguish and upset such a cruel trick will cause.”
ABD Road Safety Spokesman Mark McArthur Christie added: “We have for years been attempting to persuade the authorities to send out genuinely useful road safety advice such as how to predict hazards and adjust speed to suit. This would be a valuable exercise as most of the small number of accidents, contributed to by excessive speed, occur entirely within the speed limit. Proper education messages on how to set speed for the conditions would be far better received and acted upon by our young drivers than yet another scare tactic containing no useful information. But the Government is only interested in ‘driving by numbers’ and scaring/punishing drivers into complying with limits whilst not showing the slightest interest in tackling the real problem of dangerous and careless driving.”
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, what a ride!
