People should have to apply for licenses if they want to have dogs. This sounds a total stereotype, but I'd probably be ninety percent correct if I said that practically all the pit bulls and Dobermans in my town are being walked by eighteen year olds in baseball caps, grey jackets and drop downs. If we introduce licenses, it would ensure that people who owned dogs would be responsible, caring and genuine, not just idiots that need pit bulls to rank up their street appeal and show all their friends what hard men they are.
A test would be required too. And a home assessment.
I agree with licences
I don't agree that there is a log of dog muck everywhere in this country though. Having lived in Haarlem, NL and Duesseldorf, DE, I have to say that these places are infested with it. Especially Duesseldorf, I lived in Pempelfort where it's all flats, yet everyone has dogs! They just take them down the road to crap in someone elses street, unbelievable.
Back to the topic, I haven't seen any press releases saying that lane hoggers will be fined, why is this? If people didn't lane hog then the undertaking, cutting up and tailgaiting just wouldn't happen. So again, they are treating the symptoms rather than the causes.
I've lost count how many people these days dawdle on the motorway at 40 - 50mph, in my opinion this is more dangerous as everyone has to squeeze into the other 2 lanes, which are filled by lane hoggers anyway.
I honestly think that if roads were designed properly, people didn't lane hog and everyone kept a decent constant speed, we wouldn't have half the jams we have now.
