Anchorman 0 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 You paid a fine for not having car tax but had the option of spending time in prison? That can be an option if your offense is excessively over the speed limit e.g. you have been clocked driving over 50% of the national speed limit added to the speed limit itself, and you have previous driving convictions. For example if you have been doing 76mph or above on a 50mph road. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't get sent down for a year on dangerous driving charges and offer to pay ten grand instead! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did dangerous driving come from? Do you know what...don't bother. I try to enter into civil debate with you, but you just cant help yourself.

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 the sfa can happily decide this either way. it may come down to the courts again for a proper judgement. stopping p murray would simply be ridiculous. zero commonsense or out and out prejudice would have to be applied. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've run out of civility with you and your constant efforts to belittle people if you don't agree with their responses. Pathetic actually. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
