OT Fixed penalty on a foreign licence

Don't disagree with that, however there is a distinct lack of pedestrians on the motorways and dual carriagways. I live in a town with home zones, speedlimit 20KPH and I don't even go that fast because there are kids everywhere, but motorways, why have a limit at all?

Please have the decency to respond to the whole of one's argument. "Because it's not fun" were only the first 4 words. What about the rest of the paragraph? You have conveniently brushed it under the carpet. NM was making some very valid points to which you have not responded (except to say "it's the law").

If you were paying attention you would have noticed that I did respond to NM's points. He subsequently made some wild claims which he later found he couldn't substantiate. In fact his last response when pressed for proof of his claims was "don't hold your breath".

I rest my case.

My wild claim was to say that every motorist speeds at some time or another, to which you replied, twice, 'proove it' when offered a way of checking it yourself you dismissed this as invalid proof, well if you think I'm going to jump through hoops to proove the beeding obvious to an seemingly challanged individual like yourself then, as I said, don't hold your breath.

what on earth are you talking about, stay of the LSD me thinks.

come on then list these holes for us all to see? put up or shut up!

There was a typo. I wrote 'but' and I should have written 'buy', make the alteration yourself, re-read it, if it still does not make sense to you ask an adult or your teacher to explain.

I have no time free to educate pillocks, do your own research.

eventually.

point proved! you state there are no laws to cover it then state he law is full of holes which you cannot list at all..............walks away with a smug smile on face having caught you out, LOL

If you say it's proved then it must be proved, I really can't be arsed to argue with someone so obtuse, I have told you repeatedly what happens, I know from my own experience and from the experience of others, whereas you with absolutly zero experience argue different, well go ahead I can't be bothered anymore, you must be right and I must have imagined what happened to me.

I was lead to believe that the police that stopped you should have either let you off or arrested you at the roadside if you are not driving on a UK licence, therefore have a proof of UK residential address to serve court summons to.

I guess that you will be given a fine (pay it!) and simply 'know nothing' about the points - your permit to drive is Swiss, only they can give you any points, if that is what they do to errant drivers there. Might be worth you keeping your Swiss licence for a while! (Far less 'touchable' than a UK or mainland Europe one here in Britain)

I guess that, if you come 'too clean' and if you are 'too honest' about being British (If you are British) then you will end up with all sorts of unwanted court appearances or points. Keep your trap shut!

The Police and Criminal Evidence Act gives police powers, under such circumstances, to arrest.

Bad advice. The court also has the option of disqualification (which does not need a driving licence). Fail to be honest and I suspect that a court may well take that option.

you could just tell me what these loop holes you mentioned are for what laws? No, thought not.......smiling again......

Why, are you celebrating? if so what?

you failed miserably now go away...............better luck in your next debate...........

Well that's a matter of opinion,

Facts, bear me out but then why bother with such irritating details?

The trouble is its not obvious. Your idea of proof is seriously flawed. If you think that you can watch a sample of drivers on a motorway and from that deduce that everyone in the UK speeds, then you are being incredibly naive. Your statement was indeed wild and you certainly can't prove it. Don't blame others for challenging it.

I repeat if you think I'm going to jump through hoops to proove the beeding obvious to an seemingly challanged individual like yourself then, as I said, don't hold your breath.

However much you laugh cannot conceal that in fact you have 'won' nothing you have just bored the opponent into dropping out, bit of a hollow victory. still whatever turns you on.

I think you actually meant "challenged". Rather ironic don't you think?

So the bottom line is that you *can't* prove your claims. No surprise there then. As I said before, please come back when you do have proof but to paraphrase your good self, I won't be holding my breath because I know you can't prove it.

give up with him Paul, he says a lot, does not understand and cannot prove anything.
