Instead of which I have become a connaisseur of public transport and - cheaper than the gym - walking everywhere. Talk about getting to know your neighbourhood. Yes, penality points - I am sure they can kill: Mainly because all enjoyment goes out of driving once you are at that critical point when one further misdemeanour will cost you your licence. I hasten to add that I have never been in that position but a friend of mine stacks up points faster than you can say "speed camera" and "fine". Did you know, and not many people do, that (is it on ebay) you can - for a handsome fee - sell your unblemished self and take on other people's traffic offences by pretending that you were the offending driver? How it works is not entirely clear to me since nowadays speed cameras have a way of taking photos so sharp you'd have to find someone looking like your identical twin to pass the buck. Of great interest to me: How does one get killed sitting in a traffic jam? By committing suicide? I can just see the epitaph: Died waiting. U PS: Please don't bite your fingernails. It's unbecoming and doesn't achieve anything. Instead, inhale, exhale and swear (aloud), preferably in your mother tongue. I wish it were (my vehicle).
