There are many things wrong with Britain today but possibly the most worrying is how, as a nation, we appear to be programmed to be thick.
Education, education, education seems to have evolved into dumb, dumb, dumb.

Two ounces of plastic is hardly likely to do much damage if it runs over your foot and I can’t really see a lot of danger having a bit of a Hamilton with your nine-year-old on a bottle and a half of red.
I suppose you could lie down on the track side and fly a dinky little GTO up your own nostrils or get involved in a bit of road rage with a tall German but generally there can’t be a much safer way to spend a wet afternoon.

Now that looks like it could be dangerous
A spectator runs to put the kettle on. He could trip and fall
