MODS PLEASE LEAVE IN SCOOBYNET GENERAL!!!!! THIS IS OF IMPORTANCE TO ALL DRIVERS, that includes scooby drivers.
Anyone that lives in the East midlands who watch the local news may remember the story of the bloke from Codnor (near Ripley) Derbyshire, (A SCOOBY DRIVER), who was refusing to pay a speeding fine as he reckoned that the police were just using the speed cameras as revenue raisers, well they took him to court and on this mornings news they said that the case had been seen and the magistrate has given him a 2 week jail sentence, of which he has to serve a week of definitley.
is this justice gone wrong or what???
2 weeks imprisonment for not paying a £60 fine, i think they were trying to make an example of him here to try to deter other drivers doing the same.
This really makes my blood boil, especially when i read the local newspaper and theres a story virtually everyweek about some judge or magistrate that has let yet another prolific drug taking burglar or car thief off without jail time because they deserve a second/third/fourth chance.
That 2 week sentence is more than you would get for carrying out the following crimes:
Drunk driving
Driving while banned
Driving without license, insurance, mot
What really p###es me off is the already banned drunk driver that hit me head on a few years ago got 120hours community service.
Sorry for going on but it is sheer stupidity.
This has been reposted due to an over zealous mod shifting it earlier saying it wasn't scooby related, bit more related than the thread of 'sending a parcel to sweden' which i read earlier on today on scoobynet general.

Two weeks in jail for £60 fine - bargain..
That would save me £30 in parking (£15 per week)
Also at least £40 in sarnies at lunch time..
I could save a fortune !!

That is shocking! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Btw, this isn't scooby related and IMHO more people read the 'non-scooby' forum than this one anyway so you'd probably want it there
