Penalty points

sticky9cd

Ok - so I got a letter in the post saying I got 1 penalty point and must pay a fine -

The thing is, the address is sligglty wrong(wrong county but all other details are correct)

If they cant deliver the summones, by law I dont have to pay?

Just wondering if i didnt pay, would i still get the p.p. and not the fine?

need advice here - could be better of paying but if ye think itll work :cool:

Well if the letter got to you then I don't think it'll take Sherlock Holmes to find your house to deliver the summons. Take the fine on the chin and move on it's only 1 point after all

Well, the letter found you - why do you think any summons that might be attempted to be sent wont find you?

/edit - beaten to it by endplate.

well they sent the letter to my home address, where my parents live but im in college in a differrent county.

So what! You just don't want to pay the fine. Grand here's what you do don't pay it and will you post back how you got on with the judge??

I hope you are not studying English on college

Seriously though, you might get away with it if you go to court...That will be up to the mood the judge is in. Its far more likely you will get done and probably get more than the 1 point.

Stop tryin to weasel out of it. Pay the damn thing and take 1 point on the chin

sticky9cd

oh my bad. its 10 points so i think iv to go to court anyway

what the hell did you get 10 points for in 1 go?

doing 100pmh in a 30 zone down the wrong way on a one-way st with no seatbelt, no tax, no insurance while drunk? AND you didn't have your license on you?

Da ****? What do they give 10 points for? Or do you mean you already have 10 points?

Even in that case, they only give out points for one of the offences (the one which attracts the highest number of points).

also, unless you filed a change of address form, which most people going to college would not, it isn't their problem that the address is 'wrong'; it is yours.

sticky9cd

yes 10 alltogether lol - got 1 for where you cant go straight on but left only - i went straight on and a ban gaurd got me

Stark

Well then, I assume you just pay the fine and end up on 11 points, end of story. Until you do your next stupid thing, find yourself facing a driving ban and come on here asking how you can get a family member to take the hit, which seems to be fairly common.

I think he's actually serious, wow.

How can you expect us to believe that you're studying engineering when you can't even spell the word? Or that you have an Impreza when you can't spell that word either? Or, for that matter, that you got a B in honours English when you can't spell? Fair play to you though, you're making me laugh.;)

Stark

I hope he was telling the truth about the 11 points though. I'll make a wish for that 12th.

I'd hate to meet you on the road. I hope you get banned :mad:. You're irresponsible and dangerous to be around, and you don't even seem to be able to learn from your mistakes. If fact, judging by you're spelling, grammar and punctuation, you don't seem to be able to learn at all. How did you ever get into college?

Won't be long, I'd say! Sayonara.

My spelling isnt poor, its mainly just my typing - Got 465 points in leaving so it was ok -
Hmm , ask me a question to do with my course, civil engineering if ya dont believe me =-

Also, Id rate myself as a good driver, just drive fast but stay in control( impreza handles way better then standard car ofc )

They don't give out dangerous driving convictions for "fast but in control".

It's possible to be 'fast & in control' and still be driving without consideration for others.

For example, you may be able to overtake safely, but if this causes inconvenience to any other person, you've broken the law.

You're right, your spelling is not poor. It's terrible!

No you didn't!

Why, so you can Google the answer?

OP = Troll methinks.
Here, have a crust of bread.

deman

Seems to me that the OP is a compulsive liar. Spelling is terrible but he claims it's good. What other lies is he telling?

You claim to be good at spelling when clearly you're not. You claim to be a good driver after netting 10 points...

I seriously hope I never meet you on the road.

Can anybody translate this for me? I've got absolutely no idea what he's trying to say.

This is mental! Just because your car handles better than an average car doesn't make you quicker to react! My Golf handles way better, stops in around half the quoted stopping distances in the RotR, I've experience driving performance cars on a track and yet I don't feel the need to do stupid things like speed and act the bo**ox doing doughnuts because I think I'm better than everyone else or somehow immune to causing crashes. And guess what? I've zero points. Go figure.
