No point in saying anything about this, as nothing will change. Its all part of our lackadaisical mindset. Sure people are going to be inconvenienced trying to go about their daily business but that doesn't matter.

No regulatory regime to enforce road safety codes and law... Have you'll ever taken a look and counted the amount of jet-ski mounted on a trailer being pulled by one (1) truck???

At least we know Bannister was correct concerning the damaging of light poles by the public. It would 'sound' very strange stemming from a speech but this is a very good example. Perhaps the 'laying down' of outriggers and antennas would be the best choice especially after you trailer your large size fishing boats.
