A cautionary tale....or how to get over £20k in fines

Brie

Motorist gets £20,000 in fines from car he sold five years ago

The article is a bit unclear if all the fines are for his sold car or if some are for his current one.

Cautionary bit though - there was a delay in post getting to him due to not updating DVLA when he moved (but why would he if he sold the car?) and not promptly reregistering properly for a local resident discount scheme. (which he did do when he got a new car… I think)

Anyways - I thought it might be of interest.

Thres no outcome in that, but te common sense approach would be to cancel the merseyflow tickets.

The overall message is that we in the UK, are a nation ruled by bureaucrats where we have consultations about consultants to complete a risk assessment on how to safely complete a risk assessment so a box can be ticked on a form somewhere to say youve done it, meetings where the main topic is matters arising from the last meeting, where you never seem to get to the bottom of the agenda followed by a tedious debate about setting a date and location for the next meeting.

No one wants to take the lead, no one wants responsibility and nothing meaningful ever get done, if anything does happen then its done by some remote third party at a huge cost so no one can be liable, but as long as you have completed some tedious onlline course and a box is ticked onwards things trundle
