But what is the point in mentioning him in this thread?

Are you saying that he is in your group of 'worst drivers'? Or as you now claim, under-performing?

If under-performing, then do you feel he is/was capable of better results, but something prevented him from getting them?

If we are genuinely going to post drivers' names in this thread, in the spirit you suggest that is intended, then what is the story you are telling us?

If this thread is genuinely going to add value, then I feel it needs to do more than just name and shame - and give as insight into something that may not be common knowledge, or provide an insight into a different perspective.

At the moment, it's all just a bit toxic still - and those standing behind the 'right to free speech' banner should remember two things:

UDHR Article 19 amendment - 'the exercise of these rights carries "special duties and responsibilities" and may "therefore be subject to certain restrictions" when necessary "[f]or respect of the rights or reputation of others"'

Joel Feinberg's Offense Principle - 'the extent, duration and social value of the speech, the ease with which it can be avoided, the motives of the speaker, the number of people offended, the intensity of the offense, and the general interest of the community'


I feel that this thread currently shows no respect for the reputation of some of the drivers mentioned, has no social value, is not in the general interest of this community and the claimed motives seem to be ignored?
