There are a million plus illegal cars on our roads - uninsured, many driven by people without licences, many unroadworthy, a real danger to other people - their numbers have grown. The police do very little about this as these drivers are often far too difficult to deal with both legally, in terms of reinforcement (and often from a confrontational point of view) punishment is minimal and often (fines etc) ignored......decent, licensed, taxed, drivers made a mistake KERCHIING, thanyou very much FYI Sean I've never been done for a road offence as described here or any other (I have got off two parking tickets which were illegal and wrong - though this was a stressfull and time consuming process and inolved no compensation or apology) and paid one where I had overstayed my time...by an outrageous 3 minutes...so I think I do live up to it...you ever stayed late in a bar beyond the legal hours it is licensed for "mr good guy"?
