Welcome to Britain.

Seems like the wrong dresscode for me. That team surely should look rather like this:
-
Yeah… we do the image of our police force no favours. I mean, we put them in diesel hatchbacks. And not even good ones.
-
Or worse:
"NEE NAW! "
-
I mean, we put them in diesel hatchbacks. And not even good ones.
When do the ones in diesel hatchbacks need something that isn't a diesel hatchback?

The Tennent's shirt suggests it's in Scotland, where I'm sure pretty much most behaviour is acceptable so it's probably an easy job.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe's latest role as farting corpse with an erection prompts audience walk out
[...]
[Paul Dano's character] befriends a dead body (Radcliffe) which has washed ashore, and eventually rides it out to sea propelled by the stream of farts emanating from the cadaver.

That escalated quickly.

I guess no one ever told them that rubber dolls are just gag gifts.

"Except for danger?"
What is your problem with that? The sign looks American, so you might know better than me, but here in my neck of the woods there are a lot of different cases described in the road rules when one is allowed / supposed to do the "horn blowing".
The most obvious one is when you are in a dangerous circumstances to notify other traffic participants of the danger (presumably the sign allows only this specific case in this particular area).
Most of the other cases I can recall right now are about notifying others - e.g. it is allowed (maybe even recommended) to honk when starting the overtaking manoeuvre in difficult conditions to let the overtakee know, when nearing the bend in the road where the visibility is severely limited to let potential drivers from the other direction know you are there and be more careful etc.In the U.S., there's very few places that horn blowing (or "honking" as we call it) is prohibited. I don't think I have ever seen such a place. In some countries, horning is an important means of alerting other drivers that you are there. In the U.S., it usually means, "I'm an impatient idiot."

So true!

From what I read in the Variety article I mentioned the other day it seems like that is exactly the case--people are speculating he's trying to make sure he's not typecast.
Of course that doesn't always work. Sarah Michelle Gellar tried that after Buffy and it seems to have set her career back years.

Same here. I've seen that once near some senior care facility or something - I like to think they put it there not because honking there would disrupt the serenity of such an institution but just because they have this sign in the rulebooks so they had to put it somewhere.
"I'm an impatient idiot."
Huh? Here it means "The driver before me is a moron who hasn't started driving yet even though lights will turn green in a second (because lights on the intersecting street have turned red 2 seconds ago)".

New York Minute: noun. Instantaneous; the interval between a Manhattan traffic light turning green and the guy behind you honking his horn.

Audi Safe Following Distance
When I lived in @accalia's neck of the woods there was an old coot with an old pickup truck with a big "NO TAILGATING" sign on his tailgate. He had rigged up a plastic baseball bat to point straight out back from his bumper to keep people from getting too close when driving.
Guess he had to be careful when parking at a store, now that I think of it.

hmm... one baseball bat length is still rather close, even at a sedate 25MPH.... I would have fone with prox triggered airsoft guns (the kind that are recognizeably airsoft, i aint'nt stupid, or maybe those clown ones that shoot out the flag with the word bang on it) that would fold out when you got closer than the minimum safe follow distance.
and probably a LED display that would start scrolling "bang! rat-at-tata-tat! boom!" at the same time.
still i like his style.

I assume he removed it when he parked and put it back on before pulling out of the parking spot.

Typical American, solving a problem with guns
-
I've often contemplated buying a hay spike for my truck, for the sole purpose of discouraging tailgaters.

Nice, but probably something an old "you cain't get theah from heah!"-type old coot would've done back in the 90s, for a variety of reasons.
-

well, yes.
i wouldn't have them loaded of colurse, because the fines for littering all those palstic pellets would be cost prohibitive
-
I think biodegradable Airsoft pellets are a thing now. (Probably too expensive for anyone to bother, though)

i don't think the cop writing the littering ticket would appreciate the distinction.
i also suspect the ticket would also include a free ride in the back of a police cruiser....

It's been years since I've done any Airsoft. Looks like biodegradable really isn't that expensive.

It's hard to be passionate about something when you aren't getting paid!
-
just have a button to turn on your brake lights. and slam it everytime someone is tailgating you.
-
Just lightly press the brake pedal with your left foot.
-
yes, that's what i do, the faces of the fuckers when they are 1mt away and see the brake lights are priceless.
but @accalia sounded like she wanted some kind of tech solution

Want to know the odd thing about that bunny picture?
There's two pancakes.

But the picture depicts two. But I never saw two before. Now I can only see two.
There. Are. Two. Pancakes.

But only one on the bunny's head. The other pancake is on a pancake.
