  • Drivers over 70 to undergo eye tests every three years under plans to improve road safety | LBC

  • I dunno... I've seen some absolutely shit bags that looked over 60 driving around. Failing to stop at pedestrian crossings, running lights, merging without indicating, turning into roads whilst a pedestrian is crossing half way. Basically everything that would get you a major on your test.

    I don't think age grants you better driving capability. And the lack of visual capacity probably makes you worse.

  • Base your choice on where you're allowed to live and work legally first. Then learn the language. All these countries are relatively conservative in areas so it really depends where you'll be staying. Obviously big cities, you'll be fine. More rural places you might struggle with LGBTQ+.

    Dutch is apparently a hardish language according to a Dutch person I know online, but it might be worth it to learn!

    Even the Dutch don't speak Dutch 😅, they all speak English.

    Why does the US military obey an order to go to war despite Congress not having given their consent?

    Jump

  • Because the "official laws" don't mean anything. The only law is "is it in the US's interests at the time?". That's the only law that matters to the USA.

    Is it in the interest of the USA to attack and regime change the government of a country sitting on a massive stockpile of oil with little to no serious means of defending itself that the world is largely going to turn a blind eye to? Yes. So it did. Simple.

  • Wow, I can see they really got Maduro on this charge

  • Possession of a machinegun is actually strictly regulated in the US.

    That's not what school children in the US are taught when they practice active shooter drills.

    Jump

  • You're assuming that the whole Congress is the only branch that can declare war is actually taken at all seriously and that it's not a complete fantasyland charade.

    The US will go to war whenever and with whomever it wants and there's nothing Congress or you can do about it.

  • One would imagine it's the "use against the US" that has got her goat up. Not simply possession of a gun. Otherwise 90% of the US would be behind bars.

  • Uber rewrites contracts with drivers to avoid paying UK’s new ‘taxi tax’

    Jump

  • I do. It's the one conspiracy theory I subscribe to. 😅

    It's not uncommon for HMRC to make sweetheart deals with large multinationals. There was a massive select committee inquiry in the 2010s into this and I don't believe anything has changed.

    Counterpoint: HMRC will move quickly and swiftly to stop this loophole and fine Uber and similar companies without hesitation. Oh wait... No they won't.
