Top Gear's stunts are filmed on private property.
I think I mentioned or alluded to this. If I didn't then I meant to. So - they film on private property and hence do not have to stick to speed limits, or turn the fog lights off in broad daylight. So they don't have to worry about vehicles coming the other way.
It never used to be (exclusively) filmed on private property and it would be hard to get to Monte Carlo or Edinburgh on private property.
Top Gear is entertainment
My point is simple.
You think it is entertainment, but some people do not make that connection.
In the same way that death metal isn't actually asking you to go and kill half your year at school.
There might be 1 person out of 67 million. or .01% of 67 million. Or possibly quite a few more. For me, out on my bike on a rural lane, hearing a revved up engine in a car being forced to swoop round bends, Top Gear style, that's one too many people who don't get that it is entertainment.
The point about the truck into wall thing is that he is on record saying that it was bloody awful and everybody should do similar before being given a licence.
The c**t just didn't say this in the program. So why would that be?
