Dropped themselves right in it..

[folos]

Saw an absolute corker on the way home just now - followed an X reg ford KA being driven by a young girl for around two miles with signs all around the car stating:

"FOR SALE, £550 NO TAX OR MOT"

Anyhow after a good laugh at her stupidity she gets through a set of lights and I have to wait, sure enough at the layby by Ty Verlon roundabout in Barry (by mcdonalds for any locals) she's been stopped by a ford focus plod. Obviously they must have had their suspicions raised by her sign - I mean if you're going to drive around without tax OR an MOT don't bloody advertise it!

edit: did a check for myself!

Has anyone else seen someone else fall victim to their own blatant stupidity and get pulled? I'm aware of the trucker filming the guy brake testing the police!

That is brilliant, wish you'd got pics

Perhaps she was taking the car to a pre-booked MOT...?

[LADANIVA]

Over priced !

And what's the betting the insurance was
a) non existant
b) fronted

I wonder why drug dealers don't drive around with a sign reading "Smack available, enquire inside!"
