i think its just an ego boost really isnt it ?
in the village i live in, you know there is a turnout, its like a racetrack, speed limits are ignored, headlights on fullbeam and horns beeped, and members of the public mouthed foul language at for holding them up....
i think this is a sickening display, even more so our local counceller has gotten involved through villagers complaints, but as usual nothing will be done, until one of them hits a car or member of the public and it makes the news!!!
i myself have been about 6 inches from knocked off of my bike by a retained firefighter responding to a shout....
and when i went to the station to complain, they said basically, they are above the law and do as they please, the exact words were "if it was your house on fire with your family in it, you would want us to get there as soon as possible"
i think that is totally sickening !!!
what do you all think?
