Interesting article in Telegraph today about the fact that fixed penalties are illegal. Unfortunately, I think you need to be registered with Telegraph to read it (unless you go out and buy today's and read Christopher Booker's column).
However, a proforma letter is available here
www.bwmaonline.com/Legal%20-%20Proforma%20letter.h...m
if you wish to test this when you get your next speeding or parking etc fine!
Telegraph article is here (registration is free I think)

It's always nice to see things like this, plenty of fun to be had.
Unfortunately, writing such a letter usually results in a reply which ignores the content of your letter completely and curtly reminds you that if you don't pay on time you'll receive a summons.

It has been doing the rounds a bit this one and I have yet to hear it is successful and HMG scrapping the FPN system on parking.
Doesn't apply to speeding as that is a Conditional Offer i.e. pay or go to Court.

of course the magna carta gives every free englishman an absolute right to fish somewhere on every river, a right more of us should take up
very sad to read to day there is a drugs resistant form of hiv, this is terrible news
sorry i know not motoring related
was looking at an original model T form engine and gearbox yesterday, including internals, wow things havnt moved on that far you know, although the 3 pedals are mounted on the gearbox housing which presumably meant they shook a bit?

"Someone is pulling your leg"
Possibly, but the Magna Carta has some interesting things to say about outside influences (such as the EU).

Sorry it's not motoring related, but I don't think it had been invented then...

Any challenge to the fixed penalty cash bonanza which would force the government to overturn millions of convictions and return billions in fines and compensation would be met with the appointment of a tame appeal judge, and no doubt the promise of a future knighthood.
The legal profession would have all their christmases at once and the poor challenger would go bankrupt.

ha ha must do look it up
in a similar vein i did actually read the american consitution and declaration of independance, you would be surprised how much the guys who wrote them hated the english!
