I was caught doing just over the speed limit at 1:30am last night on a dual carriageway. But I'm positive I was not speeding! Anyway I was told this was an endorseable offence as I could have been a danger to wildlife (there was not one other sole on the road). I was given a fixed penalty fine of £60. |
the police expect to get the public behind them with this kind of
heavy-handed crap?

This kind of bollocks is what gives speed enforcement a bad name. How do the police expect to get the public behind them with this kind of heavy-handed crap? |

At least he didn't get points. |
If he just accepts the fixed penalty, it'll be 3.
If he contests it'll be 4 when they fuck him over in court.

Lordy waffled on in a quite bewildering manner to produce... At least he didn't get points. Why do you think they've taken his licence If he just accepts the fixed penalty, it'll be 3. If he contests it'll be 4 when they fuck him over in court. I got fucked over by arguing it once, allegedly 64 over the Runcorn Bridge, (40 zone), argued it and instead of 3 pts £40 I was shafted for 5 points and £150. If you argue and lose the points stayed on for the full 4 years as well, instead of 3. |

Am I right in thinking fixed penalties are 4 years now? Seems to say thaton the DVLA website.. Bastards. |
removed after 4 years and are "spent" after 5 years.
This system has been in place for the past 6 years at least...

9 days until I can just happen to inform the DVLA that I've moved, and
using the little slip of paper I've got, I can actually get a free
transfer from paper to the photocard :-)
10th of August, I'll be at the Post Office getting their fast-track system
done!

After three years they no longer count for the purpose of "totting up" for a ban. But they must remain on your license for four years. It doesn't matter how you got them, it's the same rule. |
