I am NOT GUILTY
Remember back in November 2001 I posted a thread saying my car had been caught speeding but I had no idea who the driver was? Well I was convicted in August 2002 under section 172 of the road traffic act for failling to provide information to identify the driver - 3 points and £150 fine.
I appealed against the conviction and today, my case was held at Newport Crown Court. I represented myself and despite some tough cross examination, my appeal was upheld under sub paragraph four of section 172 which allows a defence where the registered keeper of a vehichle can prove they have shown due dilligence in attempting to identify the driver.
I DID IT - I WON

There have been quite a few cases of that recently. Dwight Yorke got away with it because his agent completed the form and sent it in unsigned.

i know
heard of loads of people saying they've done it
no one who i've actually seen do it tho
but you'd have prolly gotten away with it
if not, i suspect you'd enjoy prison

Doing crime is fun, getting away whit it is funnier!
J/K, to hear that you got awa...i mean, to hear that you were found innocent!

I had that same problem with that law concerning two objects of mass....
Which is probably the one that put you in the hospital.
Remember, kids, it's not the fall that kills you. It's that sudden stop at the end!

I'm 99% sure it was my wife, but the video evidence was filmed from behind the car so it could have been my mother-in-law.

you had the chance to get ur mother-in-law sent to jail for grand theft auto, reckless driving, endangerment of lives, leaving the scene of an accident and lots of other things you could have made up and you didn't?!?

I was reading this thread, and I dropped my cigarette on the floor.
When I tried to pick it up, I stabbed myself in the stomach with my penis

He was found not guilty, does not mean he is innocent. Just means they couldn't prove it beyond a doubt.
