Sorry but this made me laugh - I actually read with the appropriate voice in my head

Good luck Stinky!

5 points and a £50 fine.

(and still be able to get the job i have a second interview for tommorow

Nice one.

Although what's the point in a £50 fine? :confused:

paradigm · 18 Apr 2006 at 13:34

Congratulations, perhaps now is the time to start driving like an angel

(and i'm not having a go, im certainly not the kind of person who can preach about "perfect" driving and "religious" speed limits!)

TripleT · 18 Apr 2006 at 13:35

Wait, so you got LESS of a fine than say just a normal fixed penalty?

How the **** did they work that out? :confused:

No offence ment by the way, I'd be VERY happy with that result. But looking at it from an outsiders view, that fine should have been higher imo.

P.S - I know that I am by no means perfect etc

[TW]Fox · 18 Apr 2006 at 13:37

You got a £50 fine? Huh?

How come I got a £60 fine and 3 points for a lesser offence :confused:

el_dazza · 18 Apr 2006 at 13:39

How many times did i tell you you'd be fine

Glad to hear it mate, just dont listen to morons who tell you to go faster next time

R220 · 18 Apr 2006 at 13:42

When you go to court they ask you to fill in a little document asking income / out goings. They take that into consideration before fining you. Some people get £££ whilst some get ££.

Lucky escape.

Better behave now then mate!..

Stinky · 18 Apr 2006 at 13:46

they took into account the fact that i only have £16 a week to myself.

it was £50 + £35 cost. so £85 all in.

i am happy with the result. but defo ont worth the hassle in future. i am sticking to the limit from now on

Thats the most pathetic thing I've ever heard. So the less you earn the less you have to pay?

I was on £250 a month total when I got caught 3 years ago, it was an FPN so no income questions at all.

I think he should have been fined more than that.

Stinky · 18 Apr 2006 at 16:13

yea but then i have paid more with the points.

i could have said that i had more money and asked for a bigger fine.

at the end of the day my total fine was more than yours fox

It's a stupid system. When I was taken go court for a CD10 (which wasn't my fault, long story) I was given a fine of £400. I had to provide a payslip which showed my monthly earnings upon which the fine was determined. A week later a guy from down the road was fined £100 for stealing a car, joyriding it and taking out 2 police cars in the chase that ensued.

Now where is the sense in that?

No it wasn't, it was £10 less but you also had to pay court costs. Court costs are not a fine.

Stinky · 18 Apr 2006 at 16:17

well at the end of the day they want the payment there an then.

from that form they could see there was no chance i could pay them £400 on the spot. as it asks for savings, earnings, etc. of which i had no savings and all my earnings do on insuring my car and taxing it. its not like i have thousands stashed away and i have just had to pay £50.
