    For very, very, very small values of time-wasting.

    I think this proves that it's completely unsafe to break 30mph limits if you
    can't look more than 4 car lengths in front of you FFS.

    So a crap game that proves nothing, is completely pointless to play, very
    dull and with rubbish graphics. Oh, and it patronises you if you lose. Bet
    you'll all be raving about this one.

    I didn't know that pedestrian crossings were popular camp sites.

    Heh, this is fun! I've already killed 3 by hitting a road cone and now
    I've just mown down a crossing fula kids!

    Cool! I can't wait to get back on the rampage.

    And since I posted the link I've actually taken the time to pootle along at
    28mph and finish the game and ... it patronises you even if you win ... "You
    were 10 minutes late for work, but at least you didn't kill or maim anybody
    getting there".

    Or words to that effect.

    In
    ...and that passing a car on the wrong side of the road is a "head-on
    collision," or that broad-siding a car is a "head-on collision," or that car
    brakes are made of plasticine.

    heh. I just got told "What were you doing? We drive on the left hand
    side in this country..."

    Managed to get it up to the ton before I plouged through the zebra
    crossing, tho.

    It was very frustrating trying to get above 70.

    Naah, that was easy. What's really irritating is the speed restrictor
    fitted to max out at the ton. Anyone know how to derestrict it?

    I drove at 10 mph and served violently from left to right as if drunk
    however there were no police officers around to catch me, I also managed
    to drive at 10 mph just left of the white line without looking (I was
    typing this) and still managed to only be 10mins late.

    There you go, that's perfectly safe and if any smart-arsed copper tries to
    tell you otherwise just point them at the web-site.

    It's pretty fucking quick up to the ton for such a shite looking car, isn't
    it?

    True, but the brakes are fucking appalling.

    it's shit, there was *loads* of room (several pixels in fact) and it
    claimed head on collissions.

    Must be downhill.

    I like the newspaper at the end. "Driver mows down school children'. It
    doesn't publish my name, I must have done a hit & run.

    If you go just below 70 and sweve onto the wrong side of the road as soon as
    you see the crossing there's a path through without slowing down. I'm
    trying to do the whole thing without going below 60 to see what smart-arse
    comments it gives me at the end.

    "Well you made it to work on time without killing or maiming anybody, but
    only because you are an exceptionally skilled driver with huge genitals."

  20. In uk.rec.motorcycles, AndrewR amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:
    I've spent more time that is healthy on it today. I got down to 4
    minutes without going less that 40 but pranged it on the damn crossing.
    I was tempted to write saying that defective brakes (inspired by Ace)
    have got to be far more dangerous than travelling at 2mph over the
    limit.
