Can’t be taxed without insurance, so can be crushed or forfeited and sold if worth a few bob…

He was making a YouTube video, like the guy in the stolen RS6 who was doing >200mph on the M23, so if Sunak gets off, RS6 man has grounds for appeal…
Oh dear, what a pity, he's been fined

Just how stupid or arrogant do you need to be? https://www.thelocal.it/20230127/us...or-driving-on-florences-ponte-vecchio-bridge/

It's not hard to do this accidentally, tbf. It looks like a street with pavements and a roadway. For most of it, it's not even obvious that you're on a bridge.

Much to my shame I remember trying to drive a support van for a cycling event onto the old pedestrian ferry at the back of Amsterdam Central train station. My only defence was this was pre-Sat Nav and I'd only been given the sketchiest of directions and a map. Much arm waving by the locals avoided a major catastrophe.

Man jailed for killing 19-year-old woman in crash
Luke Hawkes, 28, was heard on police cameras saying he was "glad" he had killed someone.
www.bbc.co.uk
Drunk, or drugged, or both (refused any tests). Crashed, fucked off and crashed again killing a 19 year old woman. When caught he said:
"I hope I killed someone. Oh well, you know what, I will get three, four, five years. Hopefully I killed them."
The the fucking charmer followed that up with:
"I'm glad she is dead, she deserved it."
So does he get >14? Does he get life? Does he fuck: 10 years +12 year driving ban.
wtf is wrong with this country?

And the driving ban now kicks in upon release, but fuck sakes, if there was ever a case for a lifetime ban this is it, couple it with a life sentence and every time he breaks the bans he goes back for five years before parole hearing and we may be getting somewhere…

My elder daughter was pulled over by the police yesterday. During a driving lesson!
There was nothing wrong with her driving but she was on a motorway and they wanted to check she was with a real instructor

Yes.
This happened in my old street. It was clearly a murder, but because he used a car to do it, that wasn’t the conviction he ended up with.

Not really. He was tried for murder but the jury cleared him of that and found him guilty of manslaughter instead. Nothing to do with the car.

Well if he'd used a different weapon the intent to kill my have been clearer but his defence was likely that he didn't mean to kill the lad and the jury weren't convinced that he did.

Out of curiosity, am I right to guess you don’t need to have a dual-control car to give someone driving lessons in this country, then?
In Spain only qualified instructors with such cars are allowed to perform learning lessons on the road. The UK is usually far more hardcore than Spain regarding motoring laws, but this is the one area where the UK seems surprisingly lax.

That's correct. No dual controls needed, apart from on motorways.
She has lessons from the instructor and then I take her out for practice

In my foreign mind, that’s fucking madness tbh. Not saying your daughter and countless other learners are reckless fools of course, but still, for a country that has some absurdly strict OTT rules (such as an experienced driver eating an apple whilst stationary at a traffic lights being deemed unacceptably risky and illegal), to tolerate at the same time an unqualified learner to actually operate a car on the public roads and even motorways if a qualified driver supervising them is the single most fucking inconsistently idiotic thing I’ve ever seen.

Most of us will have been taught by our parents to an extent. Possibly why there's so many shit drivers on the roads
And learners can only go on motorways with proper instructors
