My missus picked up a £30 ticket for changing the station on her car radio, the ticket was titled Not Being In Proper Control of her vehicle...

Government targets you see ! why get 30 proscecutions per week arresting burglers and rapists when you can get 30 easier ones. They only show up as prosecutions with no details.....so i looks like the copper is doing a really good job and the gov can boast to the public how its tackling crime....

Do you think thats why they have open prisons? Put em in a place they can walk out of, let them get a couple of miles away, and then pick them up, just to make the figures look better. Same with locking up pensioners for council tax.

They don't give you points and they don't require you to self-incriminate yourself (like it happens in speeding cases), so pay 30 quid and get cheap bluetooth wireless thingy to talk on your mobile safely.

Alternatively you can (like myself) have no friends, nor social life so you won't need mobile at all.

hth

P.S. Have a relevant read here.

Thank goodness I dont have a car !

Thank goodness I dont have a wife !

Thank goodness I dont have a mortgage !

Rather than being unhappy because you dont get everything you want, think of all the things that you dont want that you do not have !

Interesting that he was jailed, but had he knicked it, been unisured and drunk then he'd have just recieved a firm "Your a very naught boy" from the judge.

Obviously the Judge was drunk or very poorly educated.

Read it and think.

A lorry driver who was using his mobile phone just before he smashed into a stationary car and killed a 23-year-old woman has been jailed for four years.

Don't all cars have built in mobile phones these days?

Both my Lambos do. I thought all cars must have.

Let your chaufer do the driving then you can use the phone as much as you like.

ffs why do contractors act poor these days?

[sasguru]

You broke the law. Pay the price. Oh, and try to invest a few pennies in one of those hands-free gizmos, as any contractor worth his salt would do.

HTH.

Soooo....

Driving on a dual carriageway at 40mph. Stationary plod on other side (approx 40ft away) parked on a double yellow line notices me on the phone and burns off to pull me over. Pulls me over into a bus lane on double-yellow lines. I say I was scratching my head with the radio front. I never admitted using the phone and denied even owning one (it's a PAYG so there is no contract related to me). He writes on his penalty notice that I admitted it.

Do I even bother persuing this or just fish out the £30 and take the MoT to the fuzz boz?
