    Bloody pigs

    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?

    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.

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

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

          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....

                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.
                  The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                  But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                    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 !
