It's normally the foreign lorry drivers that have a bad name. Is this a first?! Dodgy foreign Volvo driver?

Beware, changing your plates may appear as a way of evading the law,and as time goes by and you think you have escaped, the charge(s) and the severity of the fine will increase.Just thought I would let you know....speeding fine in Donegal sent to Glasgow.Paullyp.

I was given an interesting tip the other day by our transport manager, apparently when you are gatso'd and they ask you who was driving you should tell them who was driving but remind them that since your are not under caution that your statement is not admissable as evidence.... sounds plausible but I'd rather someone else tried it :wink:

Better still if you was to receive such a thing through the post (notice of intended prosecution) then you could always PM me as i have ways and means of making these dissapear (PERMANENTLY), a small fee secures the "GUARANTEED" dissapearance of these nasty little gremlins ...... NO POINTS, NO FINES now you cant go wrong with that can you

I wouldn't count your chickens yet mate, they have 6 months to prosecute you. Wait and see.

Post 162467 by Storm-Troll on 2006-11-17 20:04:44

lol..where you get 6 months from??.. I watched a program on tv the other night and the people on there said its 28 days from being spotted, if they dont summons etc you in the 28 days, they cant do anything,, this was a driving program so im guesin they must check their stuff before airing it....

Is it more than 14 days since the incident that they sent you the letter?? cause a mate of mine just got off cause the police sent it about a month later or somthing, went to court and the judge threw it out
