You foreign licence holders - make the most of it

Looks like the EU is going for a Europe-wide licence, with all the
connotations that brings:

You've got between six and 26 years ...

LOCAL DRIVING LICENCES KILL.

Rather sinister comment at the end of the Beeb radio item on this
talking about "tougher requirements for riders of large motorcycles".

That's going to be fucking interesting, as it would, I assume entail
standardised training and testing, along with standardisation of penalty
systems - presumeably therefore road laws too...

That's going to take some work innit!

Hmm. Converting the Continent to driving on the left is going to take
some doing. At least "priorite a droite" would then make sense...

Quite right, too. There's too many pansy foo-foos riding big bikes these
days.

Could be worse - could be: "tougher requirements for large riders of
motorcycles".

 

Oi!

Red death, to set you free

 

Where's the problem?

 

I've got 9 years left on my Kuwaiti one.

 

"When they came for the teenagers..."

 

Yeahbut you'd have to change that, if you moved back over to the UK,
wouldn't you?

 

It'll take years to get all things sorted out, IMO. After all, the dozy
fuckers in BRX can't figure out common points schemes for driving
misdemeanors between Euro countries. They've been working on that for
years already.

 

No doubt the British will follow it to the letter of the law, the
Germans and Austrians devise their own tougher system and the rest of
Europe open a bottle of cheap red and ignore it like they do everything
else.

It's a Blairite conspiracy to get us driving on the right, thus making
things easier for the coming Merkin takeover.

 

Fucking cunts. I've still got a paper license.

It's the bloody identity card by the back door. Wankers.
