Driving around the M25 on Sunday (what a god forsaken road to nowhere that is!) and noticed a car with no rear lights. Seen that before as you might not actually notice. Anyway, turns out that the car at 8PM on the M25 had no lights AT ALL. No headlights etc. Anyway, shouted and indicated that no lights, what did I get back?

Acknowledgement and a "sod off". Ok, VERY busy motorway, in winter with no lights is particularily stupid. But, when you have your wife and kids in the car too - well words fail me......

Anyway, if you did get stopped doing this, what would you be up for?

Morons everywhere

Driving along Kensington High Street/Kensington Gore on Saturday afternoon there was a Smart weaving in and out of the traffic and creating an extra lane at times when the two lanes go down to one. It contained three early 20s kids all on the phone and gesticulating wildly. We came to the Kensington Palace Gardens lights which were red and this bunch of tw@ts sprinted betwwen the lanes of traffic and straight across the junction, nearly hitting someone coming across. I was at the fron t of the queue and when the lights changed came up behind them and gave them a good full beam flash before pulling up alongside and winding down the window. They indignantly asked what I wanted and I asked whether they had an explanation for their behaviour. The driver said "didn't notice the red light because I was on the phone".

£30 fine. Non endorseable fixed penalty ticket...

I give out several each month.

Usually, I give them out in seriously reduced visibility when they've not bothered to light up...even during the day, when everyone else has.

It's their attitude of just jumping in the car and off they go...not a thought about anyone else.

Hit 'em in the pocket, hit em quick and then off to sort someone else out.......it's the only way they learn..

Thats a shame - was hoping for more than that... still, hopefully the BiB caught up with them after the wife called them.....

Nah..that's all they get...and in truth..they probably wont even get that...

I don't know many BiB who will actually put pen to paper and 'knock someone off' for that offence.

I do like...but that's not surprising anyone...
