I expect you've all seen this. Driver tweets about a collision.

We've all done silly things driving our cars, especially when we were less experienced but we never boasted about it in a public forum. Thus an apparently intelligent, educated woman's career is set back several years thanks to a thoughtless comment.

A few months ago I listened to somebody very senior in the Government talking about internet security and how data on citizens could end up being used in the future. As a concluding comment the interviewer asked him what advice he would give to Radio 4 listeners who were thinking of using Facebook, Twitter and other social media. His answer? "Don't, just don't."

Yep. That really p*sses me off Even now she doesn't appear to understand what the consequences could have been. Must be pretty dumb - makes me wonder what she was doing at Larking Gowen!

Well, even they need someone to make the tea for them, so long as she doesn't crash the tea trolley.

Point is, they're not just 'mistakes', they're willful acts of the kind that put other people's lives at risk every day. And 2) is not enough. I'm sure she has 'learned from this'. Now for the others.

As far as I'm concerned, the vilification can't go too far - people like this should be made to suffer, and visibly, and as widely as possible. Then it might begin to lodge in what passes for the minds of all the selfish motorised pea-brains out there that if you behave in this way there may be consequences. And not just to other people, who you might maim or kill, but to you. Yes, you. So, think twice. Don't do it.

So she's having a hard time. Well boo friggin' hoo. Stick her in the stocks and pelt her with rotten veg, and keep doing it till word gets round.

You could always tweet it!

I think motorists have this defensive mentality from rising costs which make them feel insecure as motorists. They are victims of rising costs but use this issue as a defensive measure against anyone stepping on their roads.

A total fallacy

The cost of running a car is dropping steadily, and when compared with income is something like 60% of the cost in the 1970s

She's ''a cyclist herself" apparently, so maybe she's on CycleChat. Which one of you is it?

Not me......

I've got a penis.

That's her getting her words muddled up again, she meant PSYCHOPATH.

Wouldn't a 'deed pole' be something someone from Glasgow would say?

What was it? Translation of her words into what we think she would be saying if she was totally honest? Presume the 'user' isn't you?
