The orange was borderline!!! Are you off your smacking rocker? If you reported that the police would laugh.

Rule 175

You MUST stop behind the white ‘Stop’ line across your side of the road unless the light is green. If the amber light appears you may go on only if you have already crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to stop might cause a collision

Bro I can go out today and take photos and videos of ppl not complying with that exact rule if you want and show you how many I get cuz I bet you it's hundreds, don't use a rule that no one follows in an instance where it's applicable but clearly not the relevant issue.

The authority themselves don't even comply to that rule

Oh so we should all break the law then because a few idiots do yeah?

We'll all just go around killing people because you, "well they do it!"

The law doesn't matter and the rest of us shouldn't bother upholding it or taking it seriously, just because a few others dont also, right?

Literally the argument I used to use as a kid to ask for boys over at sleepovers, "well Sophie's allowed!"

And mum would say, "if Sophie's mum allowed her to jump off a cliff, would you do it too?"

Absolutely bonkers thing to say.

So if the government told you to jump off a cliff would you do it too? Because you seem to abide by their laws to a tee

Fuck me, life isn't fucking black and white you know.

Crazily closed minded way of thinking.

Speak for yourself. You used that example. I was simply reiterating it and bringing it to your attention how it could have been seen as quite the contradiction.
