It matters not how perfect her eyesight may be, it is her all round vision capability that is questionable, why else do you think that car windscreen are so large, if a small slit would be good enough to see through?

[RandyMarsh]

Tanks only have a small slit.

Don't want to appear rude Mam, but your vision must be bad, because we have not moved topic, it is still about the wearing of the Burka, and the reasons it should be banned not only in France and Switzerland, but also now in this country.

They also have Periscope too, but have you personally seen any tanks speeding past you on our motorways?

[RandyMarsh]

Not seen any burka clad women wizz past me either.

[anotheoldgit]

Interesting none of the Burka supporters have answered my driving question yet.

All it needs is a simple yes or no.

RandyMarsh

/// Not seen any burka clad women wizz past me either. ///

Obviously you don't get out much.

[ummmm]

I've never seen a burka wearer driving...

[RandyMarsh]

that makes two of us, two of us who get out more than you.

AOg, it appeared to have morphed into 'jokes' with a Benny Hillesque clip.

Hearing, to me anyway, is a very important element in driving. I'm not sure how thick the cloth is on those things; however, it would seem to me that anything covering the ears is an impediment.

RandyMarsh

/// that makes two of us, two of us who get out more than you. ///

Proof then like I said, you don't get out much, since you haven't seen me either.

[ummmm]

I actually get out a fair bit as my boss seems to like driving.

Still about Burkas though.

Tell him to drive you around Bradford or Leicester.

Of course other such venues are available.

[RandyMarsh]

Here is a petition that you can sign to ban people wearing burkas from driving, it was started 4 years ago and has 198 signatures.

Ummm
It is only a question of geography. As I mentioned to stuey earlier I saw a burqua wearing driver two days ago yet I have about 20+ plus mosques within a 8 mile radius. Could that be said of Northants?

[jambutty]

Aww it's been archived, I can't sign it.

[ummmm]

I really don't know how many mosques are in Northampton.
