Heathfield - People have been fined for smoking in work vehicles being caught by cameras like that. Must carry an e-cig.
Even if I didn't use it, I could claim I had been! Question Author There have been quite alot of answers since I last checked! No, I haven't got any particual beef with the person, but the person is question lives on the next road to me and has almost crashed into me twice and I have witnessed them almost cause other accidents.
Yesterday was the last straw as I was walking to pick my daughter up from school and they flew by me at about 60mph in a 30 zone and squealed round the corner in to a car park, then proceeded to park over 2 spaces. I will take evryones advice and see what heppens.
Thank you. Do you know the answer? Latest Posts. ChatterBank mins ago. Surely "any idiot can see" that if someone has not bothered to take, or could not pass, a driving test, which is a basic test of skill, then that is either because they are bad drivers, or they have a blatant disrespect for the law, or both.
Either way they have no valid insurance, which means if they hit me, they probably can't afford to pay for the damage. Guess what? She shouldn't be on the road. End of. No licence, no insurance OP is absolutely within his rights to report this woman and shouldn't have to listen to you suggesting he is part of a group of: "sneaks and po-faced self-righteous" people.
Surely "any idiot can see" that if someone has not bothered to take or could not pass a driving test which is a basic test of skill Ok, slight thread hijack here Passing your driving test, IMHO, means that you have shown sufficient ability in vehicle control, sufficient knowledge of the signage and regulations of driving ie a knowledge of the law , shown sufficient confidence in your ability to drive, and shown your ability to adapt to situations which may arise.
Not being 'good enough' on any of the above is a failure, and rightly so. I do not wish to share the roads with you. Now, shove this logic into a different endeavour - medicine, perhaps? Those universities and hospitals train up folk to become doctors, dentists and pharmacists.
If I was aware that somebody was practising these professions without a license, i'd grass them up - for the greater good of society. What does the "has held" bit in your quotation "holds, has held or is not disqualified from holding a licence" mean in plain English?
I would suggest that this is a slight misquote of the policy wording. The usual wording is "holds or has held and is not disqualified from holding a licence" i. It there to ensure that you are not without insurance just because you have forgotten to renew you license. If you have never held a license you are definitely not covered Reply Report as offensive Link. You're quite right, thanks for the clarification - the magic word is "and" so if your license has run out you're covered - technically.
I'd shop her without giving it a moment's hesitation. I waited until I'd passed my test to start driving and I'm damned if I would let someone get away with not doing what I had to. An ex-friend mine got done for drink driving and lost her licence, she didn't stop driving, or even tell her mother who's BMW she drove around in until she was caught driving with no licence by an ANPR system.
If I'd have known I would have shopped her myself whether she was a mate or not. Blue Reply Report as offensive Link. Wed 14 Nov Who to inform - someone driving without licence - sierraman.
Also used for Greek as in 'Nick the bubble' in Lock,Stock etc. Wed 14 Nov Who to inform - someone driving without licence - motorprop. Do the bint She isn't insured and probably as somebody else already mentioned is a very bad driver who failed tests aplenty. I remember as a young lad watching That's Life on the box and they showed some uber- dumb farmer's wife who failed her test something like 53 times it was over 50 and they thought it was hilarious and that prat composed a song about her They didn't seem to realise that this person was simply not up to the complicated task of driving - Just like the Lithuanian who a drove into the back of me on the North Circular whilst I was waiting at lights b Got out of the car and blamed me!!
Just as well I had my camera on me. The right to drive is not enshrined in the Magna Carta - I say fail the test 3 times and you must wait say a year before a re-test with about 20 certified lessons.

Bell Boy If I were you'd lay off the cheese late at night. Wed 14 Nov Who to inform - someone driving without licence - Lud. Sorry chaps. Can't agree that driving without a licence is comparable in any way to cold-blooded murder. Don't agree either that non-possession of a licence necessarily means the person can't drive and we all know, don't we, that possession of a licence doesn't mean that a person can.
Whether a person needs or deserves to be grassed up - perhaps Blue's ex friend is an example of one who does - depends on who they are. Woman taking children to school doesn't say that to me. More detail is needed. All of you harsh legalists seem to make assumptions about the woman that aren't supported by the facts given.
Wed 14 Nov Who to inform - someone driving without licence - Leif. My opinion is that this is a serious crime and more serious than petty crimes such as shop lifting. I would not feel any issue with referring to such people as scum and low life.
The rest of us have to prove that we can on one occasion drive to a sufficient standard. So what is so special about this person?
Who pays the pensioner's repair bills? As I say, such people are low life. And the "she might be poor" claim does nothing for me. Does she smoke? Does she drink? And in any case what would the punishment be?
From cases I have heard about, if she is an otherwise honest person, she will get a warning, maybe a small fine, and maybe a suspended sentence. But she really is scum, then she will get what she deserves. Incidentally, my step brother once regularly drove without a licence, until his mother stopped him.
If I had known, and had be continued to drive, then yes I would have shopped him. As it is, the action taken was enough IMO. Thu 15 Nov Who to inform - someone driving without licence - L'escargot. Provided none of the occupants of my car suffer personal injury, I don't care what uninsured driver drives into my car. What they do is their business. I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep over it. You have to look after yourself in this life. Thu 15 Nov Who to inform - someone driving without licence - pendulum.
Wed 14 Nov Who to inform - someone driving without licence - UncleR. Lud, I think you are missing the main point with your liberal approach. The fact is that this driver is uninsured. No 'ifs' or 'buts'. However good this person is, if they run you over and paralyse you, your liberal attitude to the crime she is committing will not pay for your care.
That is what insurance pays for. A 'good' person does not drive without a licence. A stupid one does, and deserves to be caught. My life hasn't always been a walk in the park. Won't give details but I've been in dire straits, I've driven without tax and insurance. I did what I did until I dug myself out of a hole. One of my neighbours knew this and helped me out and I'm very grateful to her. Devil's advocate time. With respect to the original poster There is someone locally who drives a car while as inebriated as a newt.
They shouldn't be on the road - end of story. Who do I inform? Wed 14 Nov Who to inform - someone driving without licence - milkyjoe. That would be Best I called the Police with the registration number of the car and details of the main A road it was travelling on. The reaction I got amazed me. It made me wonder if I would bother phoning another time. A tax is a fine for doing well. Sun 2 Aug Who to inform - someone driving without licence - captain chaos. If you do phone them another time better make sure you're on a hands free or they'll scramble the chopper Clearly I am not going to convince anyone here.
And they are not going to convince me. Where I come from it is considered dishonourable to run whining to the authorities and make trouble for people without a good reason. It doesn't seem to me that the mere knowledge the person has no licence is a good reason. Of course wazza may well have a good reason that he hasn't given. So no offence to him.
