    Love this thread.Makes me proud of the 3 discs on my windscreen.

    Was at the young lads football practice this morning and while having a smoke there was 8 cars that would have been seized if caught.2 of them had no tax and test, the rest where either no tax or test over 2 months.

    I don't know how they drive without a worry. I would sh*t bricks if I seen the blues.

    I know of people who drive with nothing on their car and they don't have a worry in the world.
    Like you, I'd s**t myself if I was missing anything,I think my tax was out of date 1 or 2 weeks and I was paranoid as f**k :p

    Probably just the angle the wheel is in but that front wheel doesnt look kosher either.

    I think he means the jeep wheel, where it looks like it's canted in a wee bit

    I see what you mean. It does look a bit off. The front wheel on the trailer does look flat as well though :)

    Id imagine thats more so the weight of the load on the trailer affecting how the tyre looks.

    Really taking the mick, could we not have a sensible law like say if you hit an outlandish 100 convictions you are locked up for 20 years? The guy probably did 4 or 5 times that many offences that was never caught for, he's only getting locked up for 6 months, will be out after 3.

    And he'll probably be back on the road again within a week of being released :mad:

    Is the bigger issue not that the vitara would be waaaay over its legal towing weights with that trailer and load behind him?

    Think thats what they mean by no license, prob only had a B, need BE to tow loads >750kg

    Even with a BE licence, that jeep wouldn't be legal to tow that load

    5 years or 25 years makes no difference to these people. He will be back on the streets (in a car0 in 3 months if he serves that length of time. And what's more, he will now have a medical card. :mad:

    6 months?

    He won't even do 6 weeks.

    He'll then be put on a community service scheme for 6 hours a day, 3 days a week to see out the remainder of his sentence.

    If he doesn't comply it's back to court.

    The wheel turns but never stops with these people.

    No I mean the vitara would be rated to tow probably 1500 kg, 2000kg at a max. That digger and trailer would weigh a long way over that so regardless of whether he had an artic licence he is illegal.

    Mandatory crushing of car the next time he's caught. He's completely unfit to be on our roads.
