So the fine and costs are less than the full price of a test. They had to add a surcharge to take it over!

I've heard of people driving with no insurance because the fine would be cheaper than the premium.

The new slogan should be "CRIME - costs you less than being legal"

Utter madness.

But after conviction twice 12 points, if in very exceptional circumstances you get to keep your license after being given 18 points, yes I have heard cases like that, what is the chance then of getting 24 points at still holding a license?

Driving while banned = possible prison maybe?

How far can it go?

A pre-test had been carried out which showed that work needed doing on the vehicle, but it had not yet been completed,

So he was knowingly driving a car with defects that would fail an MOT.

makes it worse in my opinion.
