You are absolutely right.
Deaths from small numberplates and loud exhausts are an unnecessary waste of life that can be easily avoided.
C'mon people stop this madness!
I think what Rossio is getting at is a law is a law and we should all abide by them. Though i agree with you it is madness that it is very likely more people are fined each year for having non compliant plates/exhausts etc than those leaving excessive debris on the public roads which is clearly a danger to everyone regardless of sensible speeds where as exhausts are more of a noise issue which to be fair the council don’t comply with after sending highways repairmen round to resurface the road directly outside my house for 4 nights in a row stating at 6.30pm and finishing at 2:30 am (i hasten to add they were still using extremely heavy machinery at 2:00am making my sash window locks loosen through vibration) Apparently the council don’t have a problem with this as they were minimising disruption to traffic at peak times..... > > > yes that is 3 angry faces! sorry for the rant.

So why should we have quiet exhausts!lol[/quote]
Yeah i kinda got that but thanks for the heads up :
I'm also guessing he has no sense of irony as he has just proved my point about farm workers not being compliant in matters like this.
He could've easily said that the farming comunity is working closely with the highways agency to weed out the few people who are giving everyone else a bad name and how people only notice when the road is a mess and don't notice when a farmer has cleaned up after themselves and give them credit.
Instead he went down the "everyone else is doing it so why can't we" route. Then tried to blame road users for any accidents they have as a result of a farmers negligence. I don't see why we should have to pick up the slack just because someone can't do their job properly.
