section 59 and sussex police

[SplatSpeed]

ok i have two brothers with section 59's

one with one and one with two

how many before they take the car???

[wasted years]

The one with two warnings (if within 12 months) should have had the car taken off of him. Lucky by the sounds of it.

On the second incident the vehicle can be taken away.

Don't let them drive yours

Did either of them ever actually get any paperwork through? As I understand it, Sussex police have developed a bit of a habit of trying to scare people with these when pulling them over, but never actually sending any paperwork. Does anyone know the situation on these?

Got one (just over 2 years ago )after gently filtering through some traffic on the Chichester bypass on my 998, never got any paperwork and didn't volunteer to sign his form either!

Whats happens once they take the car? Is it like no insurance where you just go and pay to collect the car? Do you get points?

Yes. Just over a hundred quid plus £12 per day 'storage', IIRC..

Not for a s.59, no..

[Cooperman]

What happens if you buy a car on which an S59 has been placed? Is there a central data-base on which this can be checked, like HPI, and is there any way a new owner can log his new ownership and get the S59 removed?

So how do I access this to check before buying a car?

That's my point - I don't know if it's possible...

[Dibble]

I'm not sure if it can be removed - s59 applies to vehicle and driver.

This is to cater for the scenario of a "pool car", which is badly driven by a number of bad drivers.

Not sure how it would work in practice if the car was sold on to Mr N Ormal.

[T5SOR]

I got one about 2 years ago for going slightly over the limit. Didn't get anything through the post.

Nasty bit of fascist twuntery - do everything in your power to bring S59 and those that use it into disrepute.

The idea behind it is a good one (ie get nuisance vehicles/drivers) off the roads, but I can see how it could easily be abused.

It was brought in as a "quick fix" really.

Fix in haste, repent in leisure.

The chap that stopped me said he'd been _told to give them to all bikers coming from Bury Hill_ because they'd had a spate of reports from motorists who had been shocked by motorbikes overtaking them. SO, ALL bikers?

I use it occasionally, but I reserve it for when I've seen people driving like gimps.
