adi2009 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Wonder when it would actually come into full operation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I like the fact they get their priorities right. "a trial on the M42 near Birmingham will first be used to enforce variable speed limits, then to 'tackle more serious crime." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 In both cases the penalties are clearly only going to hit people who've previously been registered with the system. Dealing with the large numbers of entirely unregistered and uninsured vehicles will require real-time alerts and pursuit, and these vehicles will have to be differentiated from the many foreign registered cars on the UK's roads. As it will be a lot easier and cheaper to fine the law-abiding but forgetful than it will be to deal with the hardline serial offenders, we think we can guess which way this one will go. How is there nothing that can be done to prevent this? I don't understand how things like this get through! Don't people see that it's a stupid idea!!

raymanuk Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 That is serious. More taxes coming in when they catch speeding motorists. The serious crimes they loose taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I agree 100% for Tax and Insurance checks... but really no for speeding. Why? Because I speed on motoways.... but it's illegal...and if everyone got away with what's illegal we'd be in chaos. Hmmm. Time for magic Bond number plate changes methinks.

raymanuk Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Does anyone know what paint Bruce willis uses in the film "The Jackal" on his people carrier. I want some of that stuff that I can wash off and the bond plates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Time to get a set of foreign plates made up methinks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Just make sure you don't get pulled over. If you live abroad, or pretend that you do and can't provide docuements there and then they can lock you up until you come before a magistrate...
