I find myself approaching a state of desperation thinking about this case.

It is a quite extraordinary set of circumstances. You are a 42-year-old man of impeccable character with a responsible job, whose only previous brush with the law was as a victim of crime when you stepped in to stop a shoplifter.

You own property, have a family and are held in high standing and yet I am dealing with a most extraordinary course of criminality arising out of a really minor road traffic accident."

Thrown it all away. Over what? A small fine.

Shame he wasn't a known scrote with a list of convictions as long as your arm, because then he'd have been let off with a caution.

Jailed for 6 months... ouch.

I can understand what he did though with the way drivers are persecuted.

[s3fella]

What a very odd story! Usually, people like this are rarely of 'previously impeccable character' someone with such resolve as to ring their own cars over something so trivial have normally been up no good before, minor things, and have just got away with it. It would be unusual for one's first attempt at a fraud to be something so elaborate.


Did it say that this guy works for a payroll company? Two houses, two Alfa Romeos? Makes you think?

Also, why did plod not just use the Civil matter excuse!? ........... Ah, it was a disabled persons car he hit!!

A most odd story

[Halb]

his judgment was impaired by the long hours he was working.

Must be a PHer.

Incidentally thanks to the spelling of judgment/judgement above, I now have a better understanding of when to use, and when not to!

Extreme and stupid, but shows what happens to an otherwise honest person when they think they are going to get in trouble from both the police and insurance company. It is all too easy to forget an MOT, there are no reminders, but the consequences can be very expensive.

I'm a little with Carmonk on this one. The guy's a prick but how often do you watch Police Interceptors and boggle at the lenient or non-existant sentences handed out.

So he hasn't got a list of convictions as long as your arm... so as I said...

[maix27]

Driving penalties are the lowest of the low, the crazy stuff you can do with in a car and only get banned from driving.

He must have panicked big time.

Imagine what he would have done if he'd killed someone!

[nelly1]

Hope Chris Huhne's reading this story...

[SmoothCriminal]

All that and the worst he could have got was a £60 fpn for no mot.

He probably listened to someone like a lot of the fools on here that think having no MOT invalidates your insurance lol.

[monkey gland]

fk him.

He tried to duck out of an accident therefore leaving the other party out of pocket. Serves him right.

[Sparta VAG]

He won't serve longer than 6 weeks at the most.

You think he might have done the whole thing before .....had a minor crunch.....found his MOT expired etc????

And you think six weeks in HMP Brixton is easy?

I spent one day there, working for a client, and I was nearly sick when I got home.
