Strange new law .....

[Boris+]

I understand that Russia has brought in a new law to ban transvestites from driving. Is this to stop them from changing gear???

I was driving along and heard it on the car radio - I thought it was just too funny!

Anyway, do transvestites change their clothes whilst driving? And ........ are the police going to make them undress to prove things?

I don't think that it is anything new - Russia has always been intolerant in these matters

[wolfie]

Yet another example of the discriminatory and oppressive regime that exists towards minority groups here, and in other countries, and which I fail to find amusing, just sad.

Ok - I apologise for finding it funny. I sort of made a connection between someone being a transvestite, changing clothes, driving and changing gear (gear sometimes being a word used for clothes).

However, I have to comment that Russia seems to have lost the plot with these new laws.

Where will it all end. They'll bring out a gambling law next banning Russian Roulette

People need to put the brakes on and ensure they clutch at their human rights

Brrrrrrilliant.

The trouble is if people swing both ways without signalling first they're bound to confuse motorists behind and cause an accident
