Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
One possibly for H21...
Hypothetically speaking, if I were to have bought a car 2 months ago, sent off logbook immediately, received that back after a couple of weeks, then approx. 6-7 weeks after buying said vehicle might have accidentally exceeded the speed limit whilst passing a cleverly disguised camera van (bastids, that ain't playing fair)...
...would I be able to deem myself "safe" by the end of this week (which will be 3rd week)?
Obviously, all hypothetically, of course, what with me being a shining light of law abidingness....
Yes, it has to be posted to arrive in the normal course of post in 14 days. So they can't send it second class on the 13th day, or if there's a planned postal strike.
Not that any of this helps right now...
Date of postmark is considered applicable date, not date of receipt.
If said date is out with 14 days of date of offence then defence is complete and case is liable to be binned.
1 Requirement of warning etc. of prosecutions for certain offences.
(1)Subject to section 2 of this Act, [F1a person shall not be convicted of an offence to which this section applies unless
(a)he was warned at the time the offence was committed that the question of prosecuting him for some one or other of e offences to which this section applies would be taken into consideration, or
(b) within fourteen days of the commission of the offence a summons (or, in Scotland, a complaint) for the offence was served on him, or
(c) within fourteen days of the commission of the offence a notice of the intended prosecution specifying the nature of the alleged offence and the time and place where it is alleged to have been committed, was—
(i) in the case of an offence under section 28 or 29 of the M1Road Traffic Act 1988 (cycling offences), served on him,
(ii) in the case of any other offence, served on him or on the person, if any, registered as the keeper of the vehicle at the time of the commission of the offence.
7 References to service by post.
Where an Act authorises or requires any document to be served by post (whether the expression “serve” or the expression “give” or “send” or any other expression is used) then, unless the contrary intention appears, the service is deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and posting a letter containing the document and, unless the contrary is proved, to have been effected at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post.
This 14 day thing is very iffy. It would have to be well over 14 days to escape prosecution.
So we'll know when TB has outsourced OOF maintenance to India as the thread 'Reply' button will change to 'Revert'
If I was an admin here .. that would definitely be happening
Indeed.
For want of a better word, dumbing down the media coverage is about the only meaningful thing to be done. Anything else is not a world to live in...
Yes we're used to the whole process of crime/arrest/trial/conviction/sentencing/punishment. But perhaps we can accept the fact that the person who commits these acts generally ends up dead as some sort of justice?
I know it won't ease the suffering of the victims or their families, but you cannot try someone post mortem.
Given that this persons farmily have fled to Lybia, perhaps they can be dealt with there. Quietly and quickly. Failing that be prevented from ever returning here. Seizing any property/cash etc they have here would also reduce the incentive for them to return.
Looks like the most you are likely to get back is £1200That's a great ploy! Although sadly I rarely travel with checked baggage which makes them more likely to call your bluff I suppose.

And expect a fight. They'll probably say you should have travel insurance to cover it.
I regularly carry £5K+ worth of camera gear as hand luggage and would never check it in, especially on a non direct flight. If an airline tried to make me put it in the hold, either at check-in or at the door of the plane then I tell them I will decline to board. This works quite well at the door of the plane, particularly if you already have hold baggage checked in. They have to off load it which almost always causes departure delays.
I was aware of the limit, and I do technically have insurance, although I will claim from the airline as a weapon of first resort and probably use insurer to cover the difference. I also intend to bill them for the day of my time that they wasted by lying to me (3 times) about the expected arrival time of my case. In fact, the €1200 will probably cover the market value of the watch. Although obviously will not replace it.
As an aside, the first thing the customer service bod asked me was whether I had insurance and that he would advise me to claim on it if so. I (more calmly than I felt) explained that insurance was not relevant, I expected the airline to pay. This sort of thing really hacks me off and doesn't occur in any other sphere as far as I can tell. I mean, imagine if someone rear-ended you and then said "oh don't worry, you're fully comp, just claim on your own insurance"
ISIS have claimed responsibility.
Whilst the boreres are open it's easy for them to get in. How do think they come in, parachute?
And that's your f***ing opinion.
So your happy for these arse holes to go around killing inocent folk. We can minimise the risk.
Today omega overheated and saw 100 on degrees on needle... never seen it that high normally always half way or just below not matter on condition... heater got turned on full and still didn't drop so pulled over turned car off.. checked header tank and was empty which is strange as was full yesterday ...
Although hot and pressurised slowly unscrewed cap not fully just enough to let it breathe and all of a sudden tank filled up with coolant?..
Anyone any ideas once coolant in tank I left cap loose and drove home heater on full whack window open and managed to stay about 95 on gauge got home no coolant again ...
Any help be appreciated car running fine in it self
"Although hot and pressurised slowly unscrewed cap not fully just enough to let it breathe and all of a sudden tank filled up with coolant?.. "
That doesn't sound like a leak to me, if tank really filled up to it's original level?
Could it just be that due to overheating, coolant liquid boils causing tank to appear empty, and when opening the cap pressure releases and allows coolant to fill tank up again?
Could it be ceased up thermostat or old coolant liquid causing the overheating, or even defected water pump?
Same with the Severn crossings; no sensible motorist on business would go to Newport from Bristol via Gloucester; the toll was always the acceptable option.
The Severn Crossings have always been far more expensive than the Dart Crossing.
£6.70 for a car, Vans are £13.40 (even small car derived vans) and HGV's are £20!
Which makes the Gloucester route a consideration, especially for the haulage companies if they're headed into deepest darkest South Wales and need to go along the Heads Of The Valleys road.
Yes, just over 4 years out of date. Do you have any newer data that shows things are getting better? Or perhaps there are now 4 million people driving on expired licenses, so £400 million potential tax revenue up for grabs.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20968886
So we have DVLA writing to (roughly) 4.55 million people per year saying their driving licence is about to expire. 2nd Class post is what - 55p? Lets assume they get a 50% discount for bulk postage. Plus a bit of admin, an A4 piece of paper and an envelope. Say 30p all in. Times 4.55 million letters is £1.4 million per year.
Then we have 2 million people (according to the BBC as of 2013) either knowingly or unknowingly driving on expired licences. Next step is obviously to start issuing 3pts and £100 fixed penalty fines to these people - much like the requirement for continuous registration or SORN of cars. 2 million x £100 = £200 million, A nice little earner.
It's madness.
The article you link to is dated .. 12 January 2013 !!!! Somewhat out of date methinks ??
