Was the *driver* insured by a policy which did not refer to the vehicle?

How do you know that an offence had been committed? Has the driver
somehow pleaded guilty already?

Many, if not most, people who hold driving licences have insurance which
allows them to drive vehicles belonging to others.

I could drive your Saab on my insurance.

But I wouldn't, because it's probably in a dangerous condition, as you
have admitted more than once that you don't like spending money on
maintenance and repairs. Haven't you?

What's the connection between this non-chav-cycle story and chav-cycles
or chav-cyclists?

Don't tell me she's been caught by a GATSO, like your wife was?

Did you find it as hilarious as you did your wife's misfortune?

The speed limit on "Sir Fred Hoyle Way" - part of the A650 and a grade
separated dual carriageway completely separate from other local roads
except at its junctions - *is* 50mph on its southern part.

The northern part is subject only to the NSL.

It reminds me to some extent of the Potteries D Ring Road (A500) - 50 on
the souther end, 70 more the majority of its length, travelling north.

Then crushed one hopes - a fitting end. He won't be doing it again as Anthony Bournes used to say.

You are all for crushing people who use modes of transport of which you
don't approve (unless you are using it, of course, preferably without
windscreen wipers)?

Do the folks round your way call you "Genghis"?

Or "Vlad"?

PS: Where's the chav-cycling content?

I'd be in bother as I haven't even printed out my insurance certificate - no point these days.
