Goodbye and thanks to all you vtr fanatics

She's sold, gone to a guy near Brighton who's got another firestorm with a knackered rear head (mcct came loose and unwound the tensioner).

I'm over the moon. for 6 months I've had hanging over me a ...

Re: w&nkers: speeding= 6 points & £660+court costs

Is that section 172 of the Mental Health Act? They will need to have two doctors in agreement to give you the points and fine. No not mental health act, although I am mental! S.172 is failing to provide driver ID aka failure to furnish. The reason being that I never received the penalty notice for ...

Re: w&nkers: speeding= 6 points & £660+court costs

cps have now confirmed the the charge will revert back to 2 charges of an sp30 and a s.172.
bad news is if i get done for both thats 9 points and about a grand!
good news is cause there's 2 charges back now i have a chance of plea bargaining for the lesser ad getting just 3 points and £100 fine..
