I would totally spend all of my time trying to make him say it out of context and then record him doing it.

You just replied to yourself.

Both countries work on the common law system, and English cases are persuasive on US courts just as US cases are persuasive on English courts.

I asked you what the price of premium gasoline was in the gas station you manage. And now you want to shoot me.

No, that’s what I’m trying to point out to him; he refuses to accept that a court in Florida might consider a ruling (and the thinking behind it) made in another jurisdiction, especially if it has been backed up by other similar rulings made in other jurisdictions. It’s at the judge’s discretion what weight to give to…

In Germany, the curves that are designed to be taken at 80 can be legally taken at 180mph if your car is good enough. That’s what this is for.

The reason is tax horsepower, I believe. In the 50s the French introduced a .7 coefficient compared to petrol for taxation purposes, but didn’t adjust it as diesel cars became more powerful.

I thought you said you had more important things to do than reply to me. Did a spot open up in your diary for me? I’m touched. But not in the bad way.

No need - the tyres are narrow enough to dig in, and even if it didn’t you can rock it back and forth like a trials car. Or maybe just pick it up and carry it to the next flat bit.

Most of Salisbury Plain (where Stonehenge is) is a military training area. Lots of road signs like this around the place:

How much was premium today, by the way?

The Florida Bar disagrees. And just in case you were wondering, it’s not the sort of bar that sells mojitos.

My guess is that the “driver” is there just to be responsible for the big red STOP button, so they can be “at fault” for insurance purposes. It’s a neat workaround.

I take it you didn’t read People v Ridout very well then. You see that famous quote “(m)ankind might still be in Eden, but for Adam’s biting an apple”?

No, that’s not the way it works. Judgements of higher courts are binding on courts beneath them in the legal system, but judgements from lower courts or courts beside that jurisdiction are merely persuasive. A large body of precedent in a particular direction (for example, toward a doctrine of apparent safety, as I…

There is no evidence of racing, and in my opinion no causative link between the actions of the drivers of those cars and the death of this woman. Your opinion differs. To sum up: Your opinion included the word “dumbfuck”, my opinion included persuasive arguments from several courts.

My driveway is too steep for propping up a car on reference books.

How did you get from “it’s a good idea to leave a gap” to “Driver’s Ed teaches kids to pull out without checking”?

You have literally no idea of how the common law works, do you?

Said the person that didn’t quote any case law; I suppose your law books are busy propping up all of the cars on your lawn too? It must be quite the reference library out there.
