Driver faces 107 points on licence

Didn't think this is possible but it made the Daily Fail last week

Due to it being on the same road in one session surely it would count as one continuous offence rather than 32 separate?

Knew before I looked at the article that it would be a white German car and the driver thereof

Did you mean to say the driver of a white German car? The article says seven series but I reckon that’s a 6GC in the photo. What do you reckon?

I reckon you need to go to specsavers

That’s better. Previously you’d have structured that sentence as ‘Specsavers need you to go there’, well done. The car in the photo is not a seven though, this is PH.

I wouldn’t have actually. Then again, I do take great delight in winding up those with a complex for all things grammar. Ironic though, given your propensity for comma splicing, which is evident in a number of your posts.

The car is not a seven but it clearly isn’t a 6th gen Celica either...

Lighten up, I see I put you to a bit of trouble tonight.

Can you please rephrase that? The sentence doesn’t make sense.

Nevertheless, I accept your apology. Strange thing to troll about though - saying a white BMW looks like a 6th gen Celica.

He will likely drive to and from court (if he has to appear). Whatever punishment is given - except a custodial - will see him driving again. He wasn’t insured before and doesn’t care about speed limits so what will change? As he wouldn’t be able to get insurance (or if he could be able to afford it) with his record then he will likely never drive with insurance again.

Get a life you sad, argumentative arse.

I’d say it’s an F06, M-pack. Most probably a 640d, although that is only based on the fact that it’s not an M6 and 640d is far more common than the petrol, and with 2 bald tyres and no insurance a common drev seems more likely.

You didn't say what make though..!!!

My thoughts too. This has to be wrong somewhere, surely?

He’s still trying to work out the difference between syntax and grammar, though he did at least try to correct his original mistake, albeit rather clumsily.

The roadworks up past Stoke go on for what seems like forever. They could well be 32 cameras long.

Are they average speed cameras or just normal flashy ones? If the former, then for someone to "trigger" 32 of them there would have to be 64 of those big yellow poles with two or three detection units on each. That's a staggering investment which I'm not sure I believe. And that would just be in one direction!

Something seems "off" with this.

I wonder if someone has got mixed up with cameras triggered and points he could be in for. Thirty two points seems rather more likely than 107.

They’re average speed, suffered through that section many times. It’s going to be a long stretch of smart motorway when the works have finished. It has to be one of the busiest sections of motorway in the country.
