Is it me or is it cheaper to drive illeagely even if you get caught. Just been watching traffic cops people on there getting £150 fines witch is less then my insurance per year and points on a licence they don't even have just to go out and do it again! If you don't get caught your laughing there will be alot more people doing this in the next couple of years due to insurance prices going through the roof!

It's been argued time and time again. If someone like me or you were caught say if our insurance was out of date by one day we would get fined thousands as they would say we can afford to pay it.
Absolute fucking joke this country, geared for the criminals and the ones that don't contribute anything towards the running of this country.

i get annoyed but if they get caught its 6 points + 150 quid fine.
twice means 12 points + fine meaning a ban.
driving whilst disqualified can carry a prison sentence iirc.

But if they don't have a licence why would a ban bother them?

That did make me laugh at the end of the program.
The bloke making up false names without any insurance on a provisional license, £120 fine plus points.
The woman claiming to be her sister without insurance, £150 fine.
The bloke with a full clean license, whos insurance had expired but was generally co-operative and tried his best to sort it out gets his car towed away and £200 fine.
I think half these figures are just plucked out the air
