IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Haven't found a similar thread and not expecting much to be added to this but it helps to see that potential road victims are thought about on occasion at least (until appeal perhaps).
Driver banned for crashing into bathroom.
Ludden, from Morfa Nefyn, argued he should avoid a driving ban as it would impact on the life of his disabled son, but magistrates said they had to protect the public.
You missed the best(worst?) bit - "A man has been banned from driving after crashing his car into the first floor of a house in Gwynedd."
Article has a photo.
The bathroom was at street level so not the extreme incident you might imagine (sad that I don't consider it extreme as is). Unfortunately, it's the consideration for potential victims that seems extreme.
It's the impact on his son of allowing to keep driving that he should be worried about.
This made me laugh. 8 months. Serves the ***** right.
Drives past cameras on three occasions uses jammer to reduce speed to zero and gives police the middle finger = police suggesting this is an excellent way to attract their attention and go to jail.
Cocaine thinking has made it to 67 year olds in rural north Yorks?
Gammon thinking.
Comments on that Torygraph piece are eyeopening.
Minor lawbreaking by respectable people (speeding, perverting course of justice, insulting the police etc) is generally ok. Police expending taxpayer's money pursuing respectable/decent people for 'soft' offences (speeding, perversion of course of justice etc) is assuredly not ok.
What an interesting worldview.
Have we stumbled on the Gammon King?
@Mandopicker101 wonder how they feel about minor law breaking by non respectable people? I suspect they are not a fan of letting them alone.
A number of participants on this forum seemed to be propounding the idea that 'minor' law breaking by ~100 car drivers a day using the FRB was not worth pursuing.
His face was 100% Gammon when flipping the cops the bird
@ejstubbs - I thought the gist was whilst we think this well worth pursuing, the cops will not bother but then reports came in from the Bridge that the cops were taking action.
I have taken this up with the cop in charge of the bridge and will get back to y'all
@ejstubbs
not condoning breaking the law at all, but stating my belief that this particular law is an ass, as I don't believe there is a potential victim.
If a dangerous biking law was passed would you be similarly dismissive of anyone who stated that it was an ass?
