The self-righteous squad are out in force, I see.


Doubtless all those sounding holier-than-thou about it have never made a mistake or broken a single law in their entire lives (insert 'rolleyes' smiley here).

Some of you really should take an honest look at yourselves.


Best thing for the OP is to get some legal advice, that's it.

So the next time someone drive into the back of your car without a full licence, tax disc, MOT and insurance you are going to say to than don't worry we all make mistakes and break the law pay me when you have got the cash.....I think not!!! ....so who going to be self-righteous then.

If you break the law you should be punished

That's impressive....that, after 5 minutes deliberation, you can confidently state that you've taken it on the chin and accepted your fate for all the mistakes you've made (rolleyes again).

The OP wants the easiest solution that will cause the least damage to himself and his wife. If he is not fully conversant with the law and his obligations, that's a fairly understandable first reaction.

Mistakes could be considered to be different. This, however, wasn't a mistake, it was a deliberate act.

Again, in-built into your response is the assumption that everyone is conversant with the law in the same way you are. Lots and lots of people won't be.

Motoring law is not that complicated. This comes under the BASICS of driving and it is covered in plain language in the Highway Code. There is absolutely no excuse.

So, are you popping down the police station as we speak to confess all your motoring and road traffic offences?

Obviously it's complicated enough, considering the number of people who make mistakes.

Exactly. If I get caught speeding, I say it's a fair cop, don't you?

Never happened to me, but yes, I reckon I wouldn't complain.


The OP may well say 'it's a fair cop', too, when all is said in done. However, if your speeding resulted in a serious accident you'd almost certainly employ a lawyer and would likely take that lawyer's advice about how to proceed, right?

You have assume I have any but I don't you have to Drive a car to get them and I don't.

you never answered my question, so I can assume from you not mentioning it you seem to believe it okay to break the law as long you state it is a mistake and it does not cost you. What a wonderful we all live in!

It's not about excuse, it's about 'reason' (in the broadest sense of the word).

Why assume that everyone is as conversant with the law as you?

They have a duty to know the law before driving, a Highway Code gives the basics.
