Safety

Ok so on the news today a person not of British Nationality drove the wrong way down the M62 at 80mph in the wrong direction causing 7 accidents on the way.........How come he got a suspended sentence of only 3 months!!! If it had been me, i'd have been done for not driving with due care and attention, would have lost my licence and have been lucky with my life.
Could I use this case if I was caught at 80mph in the right direction, and take it to human rights or could I claim discrimination, as he was a middle eastern person and i'm not.
A bit like the (again) non european who killed the lady walking on the pavement with her niece and friend, having just stolen the ladies sisters car, I think he only got a pittance of a sentence too.
One rule for us, springs to mind.......Annoyed......I am.....

We are going to drive to southern Germany (the Alps) between Xmas and New Year. There will in all likelyhood be ice and snow on the roads. Do winter tyres really make a difference? Are there any other ways we can improve our safety on the winter roads?

I'm a Korean and while staying in Canada a long time ago, I noticed something weird. The drivers seemd to look back to confirm the safety while attempting changing lanes.
All the cars are equipped with side mirrors, and the drivers can see the back through them.
But why? Why do Canadians try turning head back?
It can be very dangerous.
I know Canada is wide and traffic jam is unusual.
So they may have time to take such an action, but it's still werid.
The sidemirrors don't tell a lie. They just reflect just in the way they are reflected. In changing the lanes, momentary decision is required,,,don't you think so?

Wondering what type: size, voltage, ohms, etc LED I need to pay.
I know I need resistors to limit the current, but what kind and where to get it on line. I'm thinking about running 5-6 LEDS in a serie circuit. Any kind of help would be great.

a friend of mine was on his way home after having a few beers. he said he was NOT drunk at all, and believe me, he will know when he can't drive. then suddenly, he had said something like a dog or fox ran across the highway--and to avoid hitting the poor animal, he tried to swerve (slightly off to the shoulder). but because of the rain..the car spun out of control hitting the guard rail 3-4 times and totalling his car and deploying the air bags. NO cars were involved, thankfully.

as i was following him from behind..i KNEW that i should have NOT called the cops, cause i knew he would get a DUI..but out of panic i called the cops--because i heard if u don't...insurance won't know what happened without a police report..and won't fix your car. cops came, arrested him, took him to the hospital for a blood test...and it came up .14% and he will possibly face some jail time and heavy fines.
now i feel terrible for calling the cops--could there been a way out of this?
