TDRenewed: Has the system changed in the past 20 years Ginger I lost so many friends through reckless driving over the years and they wer not even behind the wheel..the drivers got away with a slp on the wrist.. The driver, who killed Elaine, got off with a suspened sentence..she left behind 6 children aged 3 months and 6 yrs. 6 months later he did it again.. The woman who hit met..got off scott free..so many stories of the same adn each and every one of them got off with their actions..saying that , each case was 15+ yers ago
Last few years they have really tightened up a lot. Here, a couple of months back, a man, (no criminal record previously), whose car tax ran out on the Sunday, drove in to the tax office first thing on the Monday morning to renew his car tax, and got pulled just as he was turning off the road. He got fined €300 and his car impounded.
The judge we have here, is really nasty to people who go to court with traffic offenses. At one stage he was sending so many to jail that the prison said they couldn't take any more. He kept sending them and told them to double up on offenders in already doubled up cells. This was at Christmas time too.....
They are a lot harder these days, than years back.
Steve5721: no, you are just the only person that thinks it's funny and makes a man of you.
Everyone else thinks it's childish, stupid and you deserve more than a fine.
This guy is a criminal. Typical criminal too. Thinks because no one got killed, he is getting "picked" on. Poor lil boy got to pay a fine because he unfortunately got caught by the big bad police officer who was picking on him.
He keeps trying to shift the focus of himself by saying everything but the truth of it. He giggles a little knowing he made a bunch of people mad with him because he is a miserable self centred little boy who will only be satisfied when everyone else is as miserable as he is.

ok i know they have clamped down on car tax, but a car has to be out of road tax for at least 2 months before the guards/police can legaly impount a vehicle, so there must be more to that story?

Jamess1974: no no i meant that i wouldnt speed if anyone was in the car
But that's not how you originally replied to me.
Why speed at all? Didn't you give any thought at all about what could've happened? You say you spent several years in the Army.Didn't you learn anything/

How is your day going??? :)
Thanks for asking StilloftheNight
It is a lazy one waiting for a phone call for a work meeting and later I will attend a concert on a plaza from a local Shymphonic band, they are good and include children to participate, even very small children whom hold a tambourine to make some sound (noise) and at the end of the concert the director allows them to lead the Shymphonic, quite interesting!
Jamess1974: no no i meant that i wouldnt speed if anyone was in the car
but you would speed as you obiously have done, when your on your own ...... so what about the guy that comes from the other side with his wife nd kids in the car? i've worked in the car industry nd in particular in the accident nd breakdown recovery sector for most of my life, i've seen horrendous crashes nd the aftermath first hand, i still have images stuck in my head from fatal crashes involving children that happened over 20years ago, i've seen whole family's and indeed communities torn apart because of morrons like you at 36 aint it time for you to GROW UP ND BE A RESPONCIBLE ADULT???!!!!

As a trucker, I have seen a lot of nasty wrecks...last one I saw still sticks in my mind a few years back, a couple of weeks before Christmas a head on occurred, and there were 5 bodies covered up with white sheets on the roadside, turned out to be the parents and 3 kids...by law here, when a death occurs the bodies cannot be removed until the coroner arrives on the scene of the accident.
Desertguy49: ...by law here, when a death occurs the bodies cannot be removed until the coroner arrives on the scene of the accident.
that's the same over here now, but when i started out in this business 20yrs odd ago, it happened regularly that i would attend fatal accidents were the body's would still be in the wrecks nd indeed helped the emergency ppl with removing the body's from the wrecks, in general u'd block it out of your mind but when there's children involved it just gets to you

What about yours?
I am just trying to get the house looking like a house again, everything is out of sorts here. When I get the place cleared away, I will probably work on a song I am writing :)
That Symphonic should be good. I hope you enjoy it
Jamess1974: i was taken to court and they settled for 800 but then they investagated my car and found alot of illegal mods iswel so they fined me for them too
Now the truth comes out or at least is starting to. Here, in many places, you would have been fined much more than that. You also would have lost your license for atleast 1 yr, if not longer or even forever. Your car would have been confiscated and sold. Seems to me, you got luckier than you deserve and you want to complain? Well, next time it could be your life in some way or worse someone elses. Try having to explain that to some whippersnapper, perhaps your own, if you survive that long. No sympathy from me. You should be grateful that is all you got but you are too thick headed to have even that. For shame.

I was in the Royal Air force for some time, and compassionate leave was given in family illness. I can't imagine you would not have been granted this in the circumstances you describe.
