    Dont forget that you have a lousy memory too.
    No crime against that .
    and only admit it if you have no further choice.
    Good luck.

    Btw I flicked my dog-end out of the window in Essex so perhaps we'll be nextdoor to one another in the Scrubbs.:)

    Hopefully not, But hopefully I can pass on a bit of info that may ber moneysaving. In our borough there is a clamp down on litter and £50 on spot fines are issues. They inc thorwing cig ends out of car windows as litter and they don't need to appraoch you just take your car details.

    Then how do they know who it was?

    I think people take such fines as if they have no choice. I think half of the time it is disputable and wouldnt get very far if you kept contesting it.

    You are lucky they didn't lift the car. Locally to me the DVLA have purges and go out with PCSO and they lift untaxed cars on the road. You then have to pay the tax (back dated) plus towing fees and a fixed penalty.
    Just recently I have started seeing lot of untaxed cars clamped by DVLA.

    Yesterday saw untaxed car clamped on a bus stop, on busy shopping street.

    How thoughtful of the DVLA (money grabbing chancellor) !!
