Is it any better now?

Having some issues with PM's at the moment - however you can change the style in "User Control Panel" and "Board Preferences" then select the style you want.

Was the standard of driving due to the phone or the driver? He was clearly incapable of texting and driving....or indeed smoking. Due to the driver because he was using his phone and snoking.

police should have the power to seize mobile phones from motorist and apply to the courts for destruction... it is a totally despicable offence :x I've been away a while but it appears that the site has developed something of a troll problem. Harsher penalties don't work because many people don't c...

I see what you mean - I just had a play in photoshop. Ah well I don't suppose the judge is allowed to play with image software in court!!! That's why I want to see the regs, I know they have to be unbroken & terminated properly, I want to see what it says about visibility. Also signage. If you h...

Can't help wit the regs. HOWEVER.. I reckon you're on a sticky wicket this time. First time around neither of you knew of the restriction. Second time around you both did, and deliberately tried it on. But surely just because we knew that they wanted that area to be restricted doesn't in any way ab...

Hi all, My son, in my car was up in Leeds & parked in Cross York Street. He got a ticket. The street is full of building works and as a result the yellow lines have been worn away/covered with rubbish, there are no signs to be seen (although aparently it's in a restricted area with signage as it...

If he's happy to lie to pervert the course of justice to save himself shouldn't it worry us if he'd also happily "stitch up" others? Anyway if Plod want to be honest there's nothing to stop them releasing a statement that breaking a speed limit isn't quite as bad as they've been making out...
