    An incorrect assumption as the OP talks about the housemate considering extending his visa.
    I wasn't the one assuming

    In what way, pray tell, is it irrelevant? The OP's flatmate has a notice issued under S172 of the Road Traffic Act. His mate almost certainly has an obligation to respond to it. The recent discussion clarifies what that obligation amounts to and may possibly help him avoid a criminal conviction. The "Legal Nonsense" you refer is the authority for any prosecution that may arise. Sorry if we've ruined the thread for you.
    The irrelevant part is the post above mine, para who cares doesn't matter not relevant, Section sad wanna be. Embarrassing. But certain posters keep trying it, then you argue with them. Even sadder.

    I have handed my housemate the letter, as I don't believe anything that I could do would make a difference.

    Should have not had any thing to do with it in the first place ;)

    No !!!!, Sherlock!
  • Not sure the OP and the house mate are destined to be together for long.

    I have had a lodger for only a week, and there has been a few occurrences. A 999 call for chest pains where the ambulance crew could not find anything to cause it, but he still wanted to go to hospital.
    My lodger is from India, meant to be working at a local DIY store, but he seems to like a drop of vodka instead. Although he was getting ready this morning, maybe he has turned a corner.
    I have a photo of his passport, driving license and a UK residence permit. It does say restricted work, DR/DEN, SPORTS.
    He has no beard in the photos, I don't even know if he is that person; how can I check?



    He has paid one month up front, not too many issues for an easy going man like me, but just want to be prepared.

    The post above yours was very relevant. It clarified the difference between the responsibilities of the two types of people, one of whom was the OP's mate. There was no earlier argument, simply clarification (by other people as well as me). Of course, if you consider detailed replies to be too intricate for you to handle and it all gets too much for you, you can always opt out of looking at the thread but I don't think there's any call to suggest that those providing them are "sad".

    It was absolutely irrelevant. The paragraphs make no difference. The advice is the same. Nothing to do with the OP. This cannot and has not changed. The legal wording, paragraph or section number are entirely irrelevant to this advice. If the OP was involved, which they wasn't, then the advice would be return the form. Again paragraph and sections would be entirely irrelevant to this. It's sad to see these debates continuously repeated. No one cares. Cept the poster who argues with you, making them equally sad.
