There were nearly 4000 road deaths in France last year, with the Bouches du Rhône taking the uneviable title of the most dangerous department in the country.
This is still 1700 more deaths a year than occurs in the UK, There is a substantial variation in the number of deaths per department, ranging from 150 deaths in the Bouches du Rhône to under 10 in Cantal and Lozère.
However, if the comparison is made by number of deaths per habitant then a rather different picture emerges. The level of road safety in the department of Charente-Maritime then shows a more worrying picture.
Indeed, rural areas of the country accounted for 72% of all deaths on the road, a proportion that has remained unchanged for a decade.

Everything we do is potentially dangerous, but I would rather drive myself than let a stranger do it on my behalf. If I drive, I can control my speed to what I deem a suitable speed for the road conditions. I will stop when I am tired. I will not drink heavily the night before. I like speed, but this is reserved for track days, where speed can be safely used. As such, I disagree with the majority of your post. I enjoy driving, as long as the traffic is not too bad. If the traffic is bad, then it really is a pain in the arse. Driving to work is a tad tedious, but convenient. Driving home is usually more fun. So unless you are on track , or you can emulate being on a track on an empty road , driving is tedious .
And you said you disagree with me
I rest my case .

it is logically nonsense and contradictory ,but that doesn't make it an oxymoron . It may be a paradox oxymoron , but to be honest I cant be arsed working it out so I will apologise for my dogmatic lack of due diligence .
Sorry
P.S- thread drift keeps a forum organic .
And it seems to me given some of the comments written about SLIC , grammar lessons are required

Always good to have an alternative , true perspective . Accordingly , I blame the fascination with cars on what be can termed a "clarkson culture" in which the narrative and iconography of driving is one premised on the thrill of driving, speed and exaggerated pride of ownership as oppossed to what it really is a convenient somewhat laborious potentially dangerous method of getting from A to B.
Driving should be seem as analogous to ironing , necessary but boring , potentially dangerous, more so if you do it quickly or dont concentrate and best done by someone else .
However in media world were a women cant eat an ice cream without having an orgasm there isn't much chance of that .

Tank Park Salute - Billy Bragg , the title is an enigma, it as simple lyrical genius and there are so very few songs about the death of your father , which for a vinyl loving man in his 40's will be pertinent .

I was being "oxymoronic" I don't think you were . In fact , why the reticence ? Your post may have been many things , but an oxymoron it was not .
Also , language , like maths as it own internal rules , if there are absolutes within them , they are contextual absolutes and thus not actually absolutes .

He isn't putting himself at risk. It is the firm and his other colleagues he puts at risk.

MODERATION: unnecessary response.
Point of clarification - I waited 8 hours for the profanity to be removed before - unnecessarily responding

Yes because the law doesn't care if you hurt yourself. So the inventors would have got on with it. If h/s had been about the difference is millions of working class people would not have been killed or seriously injured at work.

On a serious note. You will see on h's the tale of an 8 year old boy who found poorly discarded mercury and now is confined to a wheelchair. My flippant point was we have a responsibility to others not just the endless satisfaction of our own desires. I see, so you unanimously decided to set yourself up to protect us from ourselves. If you really want to do a public service why don't you pursue the providers of equipment using NiCad batteries. They'll be much more profligate than those using LDRs to control signal level into a power amplifier. There are at least a dozen such batteries within 20 feet of where I'm sat. I don't recall there being a major effort on any any of the suppliers part to alert me to the toxic nature of some of the materials used in the manufacture of said batteries. Wake up, smell the coffee and look at the much bigger picture! Seeing as Joe Public on the whole don't give a rat's arse about proper quality the number of people using LDRs in a device to control signal amplitude is going to pale into insignificance, whereas the majority of modern households will have quite a number of NiCad battery driven devices within them What you have written as absolutely no relevance or purchase on what I have written. You have gone off on an irrelevant rant. Last time I looked batteries where legal. Also absurdly you have taken a flippant point and bestowed upon it the status of the Geneva convention.

Ta for that . I add it to my list You'd better add Rossendale to the list too - I have a wah pedal that uses LDRs Are you going to lock your children away? If I could I would. On a serious note. You will see on h's the tale of an 8 year old boy who found poorly discarded mercury and now is confined to a wheelchair. My flippant point was we have a responsibility to others not just the endless satisfaction of our own desires.
