  • N/A - Road Traffic Act section 151 7 Feb 2013 (Forum)
    .  They are quoting Section 151 of the Road Traffic Act 1988.  I've read said section and am struggling to see how they can apply it to me, but I'm no expert so thought it would be worth asking on here. Subsection 1 of S.151 states that "This section applies where [...] a judgment to which

  • Is 6 Grand+5 y/o a car tipping point? 16 Feb 2007 (Forum)
