Seriously

Neither is acceptable but opting for the pat down means it uses up a bunch of their time, some poor chap (or chapess) has to do something he'd probably rather not be doing and it exposes the process for what it actually is (which is why I always opt for having it in public), an unlawful search, rather than hiding as something "quick and convenient". If everyone opted out, they'd have to make some changes for sure (probably they'd just make the scanner mandatory but still)

Apply that to Stalone in Demolition man too and you could extend that into The Expendables.

Or not.

Even with that, it's still not a big issue. Just with a company like that, I'm sure there's a bunch of bureaucracy to go through and other things that are higher priority.

He may be waiting a while. "W" is towards the end of the alphabet.

And it's important to vote for winners. Which is why I wait to vote until after the election.

Is it really 1m2 area though? If the bus lane is empty otherwise, you also have to add all the space between the bus and the bus in front of it.

The true measure is probably mean velocity per person (though parking may play into the equation too). That likely means not having the bus lanes be exclusively for buses. Maybe for taxis (though they are typically single passenger so not so useful), motorcycles and full occupancy vehicles or have a light system that helps ensure the bus lane is empty when a bus is going to use it but allow traffic to use it when not.

It is standard wordage so that's pretty much the end of any discussion about semantics.

I have no doubt that there are those out there for whom the possibility of their insurance rates being affected certainly *would* produce at least a moments' hesitation and that could be all the time needed to avoid an accident.

You can see why compulsory 3rd party is a good thing. You would hate it if somebody crashed into your car but then turned around and said "Would love to help out mate but I'm a bit skint at the moment".

You would think so at first glance but it turns out that a lot of people who wouldn't have insurance if it wasn't required will go ahead and drive without it anyway. Suddenly the price of your insurance goes up because "I just can't afford it" is no longer an option and you're still no better off. This has proven to be the case in states where laws have been adopted and policies are now more expensive than when "uninsured driver" was part of a standard policy.
