A close relative picked up another three yesterday for 71 in a single carriageway NSL.
If he hadn't unloaded a few on another equally close relative he'd be one away from a ban now.
We can deduce that a careful 60 year old driver doing around 80k per year will get banned in any one three year period...
God help us you whipper snappers.

Dave,
the process of 'laying off' points has been discussed here before.
I'm not going to condemn or condone it this time, but *if* you get caught, it's perjury, and you could go inside.
|
Having an illegible number plate is a much lesser offence...
Is there any news about the 'right to silence' issue? I gather this is up before the European Court about now.

Ian. The police are not even remotely concerned about perjury. They want the 60 quid and a driving ticket. It makes no odds to them who's it is. I have first hand experience recently of a hit and run incident. Witnesses took his number. No action was taken beyond a standard letter asking him who was driving - no visit, nothing.
If they don't care about a guy who hits a pedestrian and leaves them for dead [1] they're hardly going to bother about perjury.
Remember, if you can't remember who was driving the law requires you to perjure yourself anyway.
James. Of course an illegible numberplate is the best solution. (And my prefered one - no points - sweet.)
[1] Luckily she was unconcious and seriously injured rather than dead

exceeding the speed limit by 11mph I wonder ?
You avoid points that way as well.

Nice one Matt "holier than thou" Kelly. ;-)
If you've exceeded the limit on more than 4 occasions in the last three years you need to maintain a voluntary year ban in order to maintain this high level of self righteousness!!! :-)

"Right of silence" issue under Roat Traffic still awaiting hearing before the European Court of Human Rights.
However do not get exited. A recent case involving a business matter where the State required by law certain information from an individual which meant self incrimination, was taken to the above Court. The outcome was that as there was a law demanding the information then there was no breach of the human right not to incriminate oneself.
Reported in The Times Law Supplement a fortnight ago. Meant to mention it but paper thrown out before I could do so.

Saw a Clio the other day with French number plates. On looking closer, it was a British number. (A123 ABC) Then noticed car was RHD.
Finally it clicked. They had had their plates made up in France but with a British number. Different size letters. Wonder if camera can read?
