    In Sydney there are specific suburbs where you cannot even get off the train platform when you arrive without someone offerring you rock Heroin. Though we pay around $400 a gram in AU. apparently the most expensive smack in the world

    Is it really that easy to score opiates in the US? I live in an Australian City of 500,000 and there is no way you can score anything unless you know someone.

    I'm not trying to force anyone into a mold, I'm simply expecting everyone to acknowledge that their way, whatever their way happens to be, is not going to fit everyone else's circumstances.

    The problem is that there are morons that buy them not realising that in some cases they are essentially flying a lawnmower with no blade guards. I fly RC helicopters and fly them only on my 60 acre block. The injuries these can cause are horrific and their have been several part and full decapitations. Look at this thread to see some of the fun and games.

    No. It would be a terrible waste of money. Just telling you about how lax registration is where I live. It's insane. FYI - I live in South Australia.

    I doubt tattletale functionality will be added to driverless systems

    What sort of shangri-lala land do you live in? I can see driverless cars deciding to lock the doors and deliver people to a police station or gaol based on specific parameters. To think that they wont be watching, listening and analysing every fucking thing going on in and around them and reporting it all to the central repository is naive to the extreme.

    Where I live I could get registration papers and new license plates for a car that was upsaide sown and on fire without a problem in the world. It probably wouldn't get into any accidents but it sure as s**t isn't roadworthy.

    Actually, it always seems like many more than usual accidents happy the first two weeks of the snowy road season, and then people adjust to it.

    Could some of that also be attributed to laziness in not changing tyres or adding chains to their wheels?
