Darwin award.

[TheBoy]

I think you have to die to get a Darwin.

Add her to the cull list, job jobbed

A mere is a stretch of water. Perhaps there should be some kind of award for bad grammar, overuse of commas, atrocious spelling and general illiteracy.

I accept this award with thanks, and gratitude.

[Doctor Gollum]

Smelling notwithstanding , presumably the petrol station is private property... ergo, would the offence not be one of failing to SORN rather than an insurance one

As for a Darwin award contender, pesh.

[Rods2]

For a Darwin award you not only have to kill yourself, but also before you have had the chance to propagate.

Isn't insurance required even if you are on private land if it is a public place which has vehicle access?

A decent solicitor could probably argue the point...

[STEMO]

The lady was, obviously, not insured. Anyone can break a key in a lock and, when this happened, she panicked over the safety of the child. There is no mention of the age of the child or whether it was in a distressed state or not. I think she made an instant decision based on her instincts as a mother.
As for plod then tweeting about their crime fighting adventures, it seems to me that they should find something better to occupy their time.

Serves her right, no insurance equals goodbye car in my book.

[Bigron]

You are correct, Rods2; all road traffic laws prevail, even in supermarket car parks and anywhere that an admission fee is not charged.
Insurance cover was therefore required in those circumstances, together with valid tax and insurance.
Even if those requirements did not apply here, how was she planning to drive home?

It is assumed that she drove there and was going to drive away

[Bigron]

My question was rhetorical, DG!

A mere is a stretch of water. Perhaps there should be some kind of award for bad grammar, overuse of commas, atrocious spelling and general illiteracy. 

And an instant death sentence for any oppser who feels the need to use an apostrophe on a plural.

Quite right too.

[Bigron]

What about the possessive plural, Nick?
