Christ, what a thundering dhead.

"In court, Weeks challenged the accuracy of the speed detection equipment, the competency of the operator and validity of the Notice.

He admitted to being the driver of the car but not to the excess speed. He claimed to have returned his final notice but admitted not signing it, saying he had heard it was a “loophole”.
...
Weeks then refused to give his income, so the fines could be means tested. His last quote to the bench was: “Go on. Do your worst.”

For the speeding offence he was fined £400 and given four penalty points. For failing to identify the driver he was fines £600 and given 6 penalty points.

He was also order[ed] to pay costs of £650 and a victim surcharge of £100."

"Thought it was an offence to open someone else's mail." Slightly stretching that a bit there...

Why can't people just put their hands up (pun fully intended hehe) and admit they've made a mistake? This is the kind of thing kids used to do in school...

I never knew you could get 6 points for failing to identify the driver.

Does seem quite harsh giving him 6 points for that as well as 4 points for the offence. He did say 'do your worst' though... hehe

Ass clown level - expert.
More worryingly, someone somewhere gave him a driving licence...

To be fair the magistrates have gone a long way towards rectifying that mistake

So the RK used the name of someone who doesn't exist as the nominated driver and wasn't pursued to the full extent of the law? confused

North Prospect, aka Swilly. Not an area noted for the intelligence of it's inhabitants.

He didn't, the NIP had the incorrect spelling of his name which he then tried to say meant he couldn't open the letter.

10 points and £1750 fine when all he had to was be a good citizen and say 'sorry', what a dick head! Brilliant smile

According to the article he did - it was the Registered Keeper who misspelt the name when nominating the driver, no doubt deliberately, coz Dave down the Rat & Parrot told him it was a "loophole" and he'd 100% get off.

I still think this is the best one, his wife actually flew to Bulgaria to avoid the ticket - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/b...

See this is why maximum sentences are a bad idea. Imagine if the magistrate had been able to put on one of those little black cloth things before sentencing. Would have been great to see the idiots face hehe

(j/k by the way. No chance the moron would have known what it meant.)

Ahh, apologies, what a moron none the less laugh

On another note, why is he driving with no hands?

Idiots all of you.

People don't act like that in court because they're stupid. They act like that because they are either upset or trying to make a point.

I suspect even he knew saying 'do your worst' wasn't going to go well.


Trouble is that showing a court disrespect is more important that the actual offence. Any guess what crime you could commit in a car and get less than than that?

I think you could TWOC plus race the local plod in a high street grand prix, and still get less punishment if you happened to be able to keep a lid on it in court.

Speeding fines are pitiful nowadays! My old man was caught in 1993 in a calibra at 103mph on a dual carriageway and was given an 1100 quid fine and 6 points......in 1993! And he plead guilty!

And the point he's making is "Look how stupid I am"
