    But this fine wagon requires the keys and a screwdriver..adds to the hi-larity.

    I don't know the mechanism of it, but apparently there is some kind of screw or wire under wheel where he needs screw driver.

    Hey, first of all: Swear to god I didn't do it (I tend to do stupid things but not this much), it's about my friend, she acted very stupid now doesn't know what will happen to her.

    Basically 3 of my friends were hanging out in Bray in a pub, then one of friends left (owner of car) and two left. Two girls - they were very drunk, they saw car was open so they didn't know what to do since owner left.

    Instead of just sitting in car or leaving it they decided it would be brilliant to deliver car home.
    Around the corner thank god they were stopped by Garda (Thank god because I am pretty sure once they would reach speed they could've caused crash).

    So what is she gonna face? (The driver)

    Conditions:
    1) Very Drunk.
    2) No license or never held a license (pretty much doesn't know how to drive, but it's automatic car so she probably figured it out)
    3) No insurance obviously.
    4) No lights on.
    5) Lives in Ireland on Visa.


    So is she gonna be jailed? Face heavy fine? Lifetime driving ban? Deportation?


    I was asked to help and find out what's her worst case and best case scenario.


    Thank You.

    What do you mean wind up? If you think it's me then honestly no. I don't really drive anymore.

    Seriously this isn't a wind up, I am seriously asking, if you think it's wind up - imagine it's not.
    What's the worst case for her?
    arleitiss wrote: »
    You may think what I am about to say is confirmation it's a wind up, but as silly as it sounds - it's not.

    The car is 1995 3 series, it has broken ignition, in order to start it up - you just need to put key into ignition turn it to switch on position and then use screwdriver under steering wheel to start it up.

    I am not sure why steering lock doesn't work there.

    I could vaguely call that a "car" then again I am nowhere near a car expert (as many know)

    As far as I know my friend always has keys with him and screw driver in car. But I guess owner of car gave keys to that girl that night.

    Also shes Ukrainian on Visa here.

    Seriously OP?
    So said friend drives to the pub, I'll assume he got drunk as well and decided to leave the keys to his car (which sounds like a ****box) to this foreigner. Then he explained the process of starting the car to a drunk foreigner in case she decided to drive the car home?
    The girl decides to bring the car home and is able to remember exactly how to start it only for the police to be waiting around the corner.
    If this story is true and I seriously doubt it is then I would expect a nice fine to this idiot.

    Well that girl is owners girlfriend, he taught her few times how to drive so I assume that's how she knows.

    If the Garda ran out of ink or notepaper writing it all down that could be another charge.

    For a minute I thought I was on AH :D
    Btw lads does anyone know how to track down a unicorn? Bastard of a thing I gave a lift to last night ended up robbing my Ford Model T.
    Just before it kicked me out of the car I stuck a gps sender onto it's horn (uuu cheeky) but it yelled at me with a weird satan voice.
    Anyway long story short I burnt my toast for breakfast so how do I Jennifer Aniston to sleep with me?

    Ara feck off now with this ****e.
    Why in the name of God would you ask a forum what possible punishments such a number of offences would give?? Go to a lawyer for Christ sake.
    If it's the girlfriend why didn't she just ring her "boyfriend" to get her or call her a taxi?
    You didn't seem to mention that at the beginning, you gave the illusion that they are all friends. Utter rubbish.

    Nah, it just proves you've got nothing interesting to talk about.

    I didn't specify all side details since I mean law breaking is law breaking, and charge is a charge, I assume if you are charged for not having license and never driven is same as for not having license and driven a bit.

    Sorry OP, I just can't believe such a story.
    If true go and get legal advise and not from a forum. Scratch that, tell her to go and get legal advice.

    Theft of a vehicle, driving whilst intoxicated and uninsured. Along with a myriad of driving offences.
    Sure why wouldn't a judge extend her visa.

    If she was caught in Bray, and was only driving around the corner. Why is it impounded in
    Shankill and not Bray?!

    No impound in Bray, think it's Irishtown, Shankill, and Finglas that they have the impounds in?

    They used to keep them at the side of the cop shop. Must have changed.

    If this is true the girl is probably looking at a 2 year ban for no insurance, 3 years for drink driving and a couple of grand in fines. (Not sure if bans would run concurrently or consecutively). The part that's making me lean towards this being true is the "no lights" part. You'd be amazed at the number of drink drivers who get caught for drink driving simply because they forgot to turn on the lights. On it's own, driving without lights would be seen by a garda as a pretty minor offence which can happen to the best of us in well lit up areas, so it seems a little odd that if the op was making this up he would think to include it in a list of far more serious offences.

    If she goes to court wearing her best tracksuit and offers to pay 3 euros a month then it will be grand.

    Worst case scenario: she's charged with all those offences.

    Best case: she's charged with none of them.

    Middle case: she's charged with some, and not others.

    That was tough to work out.

    Cars impounded in Bray go to Kelly's in Kilmacanogue. Did this happen Sunday night?
