It would appear that a fine can only be applied if the ticket is handed to the driver or fixed to the vehicle. The notable exception being that you cannot…

Not interested in "performance", a steady reliable workhorse wanted. Not interested in a status symbol or depreciation, we keep our cars till they drop. Must suit a 6…

I then did a great double take as the engine failed to stop. The revs dropped fairly significantly, and the battery not…

As a result my insurer offered me the cash value of the car. I asked to have the car returned as I believed it to be in a repairable state. My insurer deducted…
