What rub? Are those the times the speed limit applies?
All the stuff you list is illegal.
If you wish to change the focus of your local police force,then get active.
community pressure shapes your local forces priority.
What's made you not grumpy but not smile either today?

Speed limit applies all the time...however the gentleman manning the speed van doesn't go out at all times and your chances of running into an actual police unit are very slim..if you want to speed just do it after 7pm and before 8am. It is a pointless exercise in raising money it allows more serious traffic offenses to go unpunished even if they happen in its direct line of site and also does it's best not to comply with guidelines relating to sign posting speed traps..so yeah we'll have our opinions. My opinion is they'd be better off putting a traffic officer somewhere in plain sight with an anpr camera, this is expensive but hey it's not about the money right?
Well it has to be paid for. right?
My view is the Police should be allowed to stream the revenue from speed cameras etc.
Ring fence it and put it back into local policing. An opt in tax.
Think of all the extra revenue they'd makr if speeding wasn't the only thing they enforced..

probably bugger all, i sat in the back of a court not too long ago and watched some one get £60 fine for no insurance and £60 for no licence, wages of the police officer probably cost more than the fine

yes the poor down trodden motorist, tricked into being caught speeding.

They need to prosecute outside lane hoggers and tailgaters IMO. MUCH more dangerous than 35mph in a 30...
They might accidentally catch someone using a stolen car to get away from a burglary you never know...
Custard I know what you mean what we really should do is not pay road tax, have vehicles with no identifying marks, no insurance, knock people over in the street and leave the scene immediately. To ensure anonymity we could wear face masks whilst driving and break laws with impunity as there would be no license to endorse and decide which apply to ourselves and when...especially traffic lights..

We do actually it's included in your council tax :devil:
Which means it has no relation to owning a car
Not everyone pays that either.

if you google road tax you will see its still an exceptable turm used by 99.99% of the UK
And does that mean people pay it? What study brought the 99.9% figure?
Vehicle = car/truck/van/bus
Excise = tax
Duty = tax
So for accuracy if you say you pay "car tax tax" then you're right
But road tax is wrong
Between my Punto and mini we pay £30 a year car tax tax so they entitles us to everything

I've never been stopped by the police...
Been branded the "silent one" by the new flat mates
Why am I not allowed to watch a film without talking over it...:shrug:

I've been driving round in a car that isn't on the MID, isn't registered to me and also apparently shows as a Ford Ranger on the DVLA database despite being a tiny little econobox...not a sniff.
