The usual suspects. Pathetic the lot of them
The usual lowlife garbage when will they ever learn.
Why would they..no punishment. Its cheaper to drive with no tax mot or insurance…pay pathetic fine then pay to be legal. And why pay for food and drink when its cheaper to steal it usually get away with it..and if caught be ordered to pay minimal fine which doesnt actually ever get paid…
They might start to learn abit more if they stopped being given paltry fines which they pay at peanuts a week from their benefit. A major overhall of community service is needed so that society can get something back, at least inthe form of unpaid work.
Not sure why address and convictions are listed especially on the mainland relating to a speeding fine. come on
