What’s the fine for being caught on train without a ticket? A small fraction of the price of a ticket? £200 is the fine for having no insurance.
Why does the British justice system think that a petty financial crime against a huge, faceless organisation more heinous than a crime that can compound the grief of families and possibly result in death in the case of hit and run?
When I renew my vehicle licence tax a computer system knows:
my car and it’s owner
whether it has a valid MOT certificate covering the end/start of the period of taxation
whether the driver and the car are insured.
So why, then, do they estimate that 30% of cars on the road are not insured.
That’s a hell of a lot of cars.
Right I’m off for a slump in my comfy chair, listen to some bangin choons through a haze of pain killer induced euphoria.
Thought I’d start with the new Prodigy – “Motorists must die”
That sounds really quite nasty. Hope they track the bastards in the Yaris and throw the book at them. failure to stop / report an accident is a serious offence. I would think that they must have it on CCTV somewhere.
If they can’t trace the driver then you can claim for compensation for your injuries through the Motor Insurers Bureau. I know it won’t be as satisfying as hanging the idiots out to dry, but still…
