Being serious, he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, how was it dangerous driving and what would the possible alternatives a court could handed out to him had he pleaded not guilty?  :-/

Once he pleads guilty the court can do very little. The court does NOT have anything to do with the charges, and cannot amend them. Had he pleaded "not guilty", gone to trial, and been found "guilty" the punsishment would have been higher...as "discount" is given for an early guilty plea.

IMHO the fault here is with a) CPS .. who seem to have gone for the jugular, probably realising the old guy wouldn't fight and b) with the defence soliciter/barrister who has not done his job properly.

It would be the defence who would/should "persuade" the prosecution that the charges are unreasonable ... blatently this did not happen...

On the second occasion it went to trial and the Jury convicted ... probably on far more evidence than that one page report !!

The house across the way, was having some building work done in the summer, I went out, and came back about 2 hours later to find a builders wagon on my drive, and they were mixing cement on my tarmac.

I was not happy.

Some people just have zero respect for other peoples property, eh  :-/


Speaking of bad driving, though .. what did I see on the way to work?

An AA Driving School car firmly embedded in some trees (on a straight stretch of road with a single side junction)

I hear a schrader valve key works quite well for that 

A schrader valve key does indeed work very well...  especially if the valve is left a little off tight...  Enough to simulate a very slow puncture....  It would be enough to keep him running to the local tyre place every couple of weeks, due to his tyre(s) going down...  Not that I have ever done nor would do such a thing...     [smiley=engel017.gif]

Had an experience with one of these considerate types, after being asked politely a couple of times with no result, 2 mates were enlisted to help. Offending car parks outside, 2 phone calls are made, one car turns up and reverses to within an inch of offending cars bumper, second car turns up and parks an inch off of rear bumper. Then we all went out shopping for 3 hours..... End of problem...

Or just put a polite notice on the windscreen, asking them if they wouldn't mind not blocking the drive in future - STUCK ON WITH SUPERGLUE
