Why are you bringing the police into it? That's their job; our taxes pay for them to do their job so we don't have to. What a stupid point.



Firstly, I never said all uninsured drivers would attack you, just that you are increasing the risk. Cowardice? Would you be happy with your pregnant wife (for example) demanding prints? Anyway, this wasn't the question.

As you're myopic, I'll make it very easy for you:

How do you ensure the trustworthiness and credibility of the person taking the fingerprints?

Take a look at this thread:

The police wouldn't treat that as an emergency call. Before I went to Uni I worked in a petrol station and their average response time to 'drive-offs' was about 2 hours at best. Best take off those rose-tinted spectacles.



At least I have some knowledge of economics. Yours can be written on the top corner of your beloved Daily Mail. What exactly qualifies you in economics again?

Your knowledge (and I can dig up the quote) is based upon "I read it on an internet forum" or "I spoke to someone".

This argument is for another thread but I suspect we're now in a Bull run and if we are, you're going to look very silly over the next few months.



You need a licence to drive on the road - make it compulsory to carry that when driving if you really need to prove your identity.
Why don't you just say you don't get it Heathens?For those who do understand, no further explanation is necessary.

Just a couple of points about economics though. I never claimed to be an economist. All I ever said was that in times of trouble, gold was king. You believed diversification was king, and I just challenged that viewpoint from a layman's perspective.

Like I said earlier on another thread, if an expert tells me something I know is false I.e. 2+2=5, I don't need to be an expert in calculus to know it's so.

By the way you're mistaken in your view of my love for the Daily Mail.
