Paid for ticket, fell off screen = fine
I have received a parking fine. I bought a ticket, put it on dashboard - no sticky bit to put it on windscreen.

Good/bad 2nd hand car dealers in Hertfordshire
Last night, as we prepared to leave Sainsbury's car park, my girlfriend's car went "bang". I returned the frozen chips while we waited for the rescue service and today we have found out that, given our current economic state (read: we're skint), it may prove to be more viable to replace rather than repair. So, does anyone…

Car due to be written off, How much can we expect
My husband was involved in an accident yesterday. Someone behind him hit their accelerator rather than the brake pedal and went into the back of our car at 30mph causing extensive damage. The garage that collected it indicated that it is likely to be a write off, but obviously we will have to wait for the insurance…

MOT in advance?
Hi guys, Does anyone know how far in advance you can get your MOT done so that they will still pre-date it to when your old one runs out? I'm off work at the mo, and my MOT is due 17th Feb, so if I could get it done now it would save taking time off work. Off to the ambulance station again for a no fail MOT :)…
