The police wrote politely back enclosing a photo of the back of his head - very obviously not <i>Mrs</i> B! So I kept my clean license and he went on a driving safety course and has been more careful since.mighttp://letouttoplay.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-64678628668715004352012-07-24T16:58:52.787+01:002012-07-24T16:58:52.787+01:00He hasn't been ordered to retake his test, I&#...He hasn't been ordered to retake his test, I've forgiven him, he's contrite. Different places - none in villages, btw - not in a short space of time. About once a year. <br /><br />He might get a reprieve if he appeals, but it'll be expensive as he'd need a barrister and - well, he's agreed he deserves it. In view of what this says about his driving (he's never had tickets until the last few years) I'm not sure whether he should start driving again. He's been into town on my bike this afternoon, this morning we both went to a funeral.<br /><br />Thanks to all of you. I knew it was you, Ros. And I done a lol at your second comment, AQ. And Mike, I know what men are like - lovely, mostly. As is Ann, do thank her again for phoning last night.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-47398974868709242632012-07-24T16:00:53.226+01:002012-07-24T16:00:53.226+01:00It does have to be said that the majority of peopl...It does have to be said that the majority of people we find seriously exceeding the speed limits in this village and its hamlets are older men, so he is not alone. Not that that is any comfort, but.<br /><br />The young lads in the tarted/souped up Fiestas and Novas at least learn their lesson after the first letter/points/inflated insurance premium.<br /><br />I'm guessing that he will have to retake his test as well, due to his age, so the ban might be permanent. I can't imagine how that must make you feel, living where you do, and needing to be reliant on cars to get around. <br /><br />Were the tickets all at the same place, in the same period? A good motoring lawyer might be able to do (even if it's only reduce the penalty/ban time) something if so... I do know of a website that claims to be able to do miracles.Blue Witchhttp://blue-witch.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-71803271948406083692012-07-24T15:30:04.402+01:002012-07-24T15:30:04.402+01:00Speedy Gonzalez!Speedy Gonzalez!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346682505354790114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-41061299564603186572012-07-24T14:08:04.571+01:002012-07-24T14:08:04.571+01:00Where is it these elderly chaps are rushing off to...Where is it these elderly chaps are rushing off to?allotmentqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436822823840965550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-69027740718739077712012-07-24T13:49:58.905+01:002012-07-24T13:49:58.905+01:00When I hit 9 points a few years ago, I thought ...When I hit 9 points a few years ago, I thought 'oops, better slow down.'
