And they slow them down so when they play bumper cars it hurts them a little less.

Many couldn’t drive a greasy finger up their own bum!

Same at our work - you'd be busted instantly by one of the yard nazis if you even thought about it (They police for thought crimes too I'm sure...) 😁

No hands free allowed either.

I worked for BHP for a couple of years in Singapore, and you weren’t allowed to walk and talk on mobiles in the office or out in the street! Had to maintain two point contact on the stairs.... etc... same rules apply in all sites, open cast mine, drill site or office!

Key in ignition with door open it beeps.

Honestly if someone doesn’t realise the car is unlocked or the key is still in the ignition,then they don’t have the ability to be in control of the vehicle,and shouldn’t have the privelidge of having a drivers license.

Hmmm.. my recently acquired P38 does that - really annoying.

Maybe it is too smart for me and I should go back to the S1

I was however allowed to travel at 110 where there was a multi lane carriageway.
There are only a couple of conclusions one can come to,
1) We city people are more precious than our country cousins, or
2) City people are dumber and lousier drivers than our country cousins and need outside help to stay within the limitations of a single lane.
I, as a city person nowadays, found this so 'offensive' that I had to go to the "crying room" and have a good cry for about a minute before I could get over it.

A truck going 110km/h? Thats rare these days.
