    As long as you have ended up with a long term, well paid job out of it, it is worthwhile.

    Of course the majority havn't.

    hmmm on a serious note, I'm not really bothered about graduate schemes.

    Too many graduates these days and too much competition. Hopeless.

    I would settle for office work with average pay tbh.

    Degrees have certainly lost ALOT of value. Maybe Brown can answer for that one with trying to get 50% into higher education?

    Ouch, seems a bit harsh to me too! Don't think there's anything you can do though OP, these things just depend on the Officer on the day IMO. Some will slap your wrists and the others... I could have cried the day we got a thrity pounds fine for not having a seat belt on, all the kids had them on, I had mine on, and OH who never forgets HAD forgotten. I thought it was unduly harsh but again, can't do much except never forget again!

    I was given 2 bits of papers, one ticket saying that I need to give or take my license to the police station etc.
    The other one a Pink Prohibition order sheet saying that I need to get the car fixed and get an MoT test certificate. In the faults section it said Brake lights not functioning.

    I think I've lost the will to live !!!!!!. It's like trying to get blood from a stone.

    In the case of a PG9 there are 2 courses of action.
    1 is immediate. In the case of a serious fault the vehicle is prohibited from moving until fixed.

    The 2nd is for less serious faults & is deferred for a specified amount of time allowing the vehicle to be moved & the fault rectified. In both cases a new MOT must be obtained & taken to a police station for the prohibition to be lifted via another form, PG10.

    A car owner/driver has to make sure the brake lights are working as well as the wiper blades are clean, it doesnt take long to see if the lights are working or wipers are clean
