He's had a speeding ticket, and this is unfair because he's not a boy racer and he was only going a few miles over the limit, it's not like he was breaking the law or anything. He's not even black!
Still, we got away lightly, compared to Paula Rosevear, from Plymouth. She was woken by a bailiff sent by Bristol Council threatening to seize her car unless she handed over £508.I'm going to make a wild guess that Ms Rosevear ignored a few messages before this happened.
This was apparently a fine she’d incurred passing through Bristol’s clean air zone last year, without realising it, on her way home from the airport.
The bailiff told Ms Rosevear, who cares for her mother with Alzheimer’s, that she had ten minutes to come up with the money or he was taking her car, which he’d already clamped.
Parking apps serve the same purpose, being especially designed to be fiendishly complicated so as to confuse drivers and extract fines.How? I use Ringgo regularly. It's got big buttons, and starts by listing local car parks. Then it brings up your stored car and card details. You choose how much time you want, and buy it. If you can't work it, that's on you, you thick cunt.
I’ve described here before how the introduction of apps in my neck of the woods tripled parking charges and drove shoppers away from local businesses.
Bristol City Council said motorists should always check council and Government websites ‘before travelling to find out if they need to pay a charge for their chosen route’.Google fucking maps, cunt chops! Type in where you're going, and get the journey time and any known delays.
What? You plan to take the kids to the seaside, and you are expected to consult the internet for any snakes and ladders along the way?
As I’ve argued for more than 20 years, we now live in a punishment culture, where the police work hand-in-glove with the far-Left, anti-car fanatics who have seized control of transport policies to persecute otherwise law-abiding citizens for trivial, and invented, motoring infringements.Most modern(ish) cars have a big display showing your speed in big numbers. You don't need to look at a dial. Everything you're whining about is on you. You cunt.
Record numbers of people will set off by car over the Bank Holiday weekend. There’s enough to worry about – roadworks, potholes, fractious kids in the back seat - without having constantly to be staring at the speedo for fear of going over 20mph or worrying that you may have inadvertently strayed into a sneaky ‘low emissions’ or ‘congestion charge’ zone.
