Outside my workplace this afternoon the police were hiding armed with a radar gun as they do on occasion. However this time there was a new twist to the proceedings. Since such a high number of cars were doing over 38mph on this particular 30mph zone, the police were giving drivers two...

Last weekend I spend a couple of hours on all the comparison websites, Directline, A Flux, and one or two other companies getting a quote for my old '98 E280. Last year, Saga charged me £163 fully comp, protected NCB with the wife as named driver. This year that had gone up to £239. After a...

Just read in autoexpress that according to the AA insures take a dim view if you are convicted of using a mobile whilst in charge of a vehicle - many will load the premium and one company will not offer cover. Do you think that is overkill being punished twice or do you agree with that..:rock:

Hi i was driving the other day and was pulled over for the way my car looked, saxo vtr (big stupid exhuast etc) they asked me the usual, where you goin, lookin at the people in my car blah blah spent 10 mins looking around the car and found nothing wrong, gave me one of those things where you...

This morning I went through a red? amber? light at a junction. Traffic cops were the second car at the junction wating for the green light so they could turn right. They said it was red, I said it was amber. They were not behind me so how could they tell? They issued me with a fixed penalty...

As the heading, was pulled over on the motorway mid October last year, was issued with a fixed penalty notice. I paid the fine and went to produce but could not find my photocard (I had the paper bit). They marked it as if I had not produced and said I will be issued with a court summons...

I have no problem with this legislation, but does it then give the impression that it is okay to use a CB or amateur radio whilst driving? (Holding, or using a microphone) Likewise is it okay to program any type of GPS whilst driving? Then we start looking at Tuning a radio, Replacing a...

In the past I was told by Insurance company staff/brokers that fixed penalty points for i.e. SP30 three points would not affect or bump up a premium but any more than six and you would be in trouble. Insured my Dad on my renewal policy last night (he has picked up 3 points) and premium by...

Quick question – If a vehicle has a slight over hanging load – i.e. some timber hanging out of the rear door (but by a small amount) on a van then is that a penalty endorseable offence of 3 points as well as the £60 fine…?

Hi all, wondering if anybody can provide any advice on the following: Our city has decriminalised parking. On Saturday gone my son has parked on a single yellow line, believing incorrectly that weekends were exempt. Fair enough, but on looking at the PCN the warden has got the location wrong -...

I'm guessing from the title, you guessed what this thread is about. What you probably don't expect is that it has NOTHING to do with my car... Actually, nothing to do with ANY car! Let me start at the beginning... once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a parking attendent with a...
