At a guess I would say the first one sent a letter in pleading guilty (thus a third off), and gave details of his income.

I suspect the second did neither, so the court took his income as they saw fit, found him guilty (hence no discount) and fined him on that basis.

A lesson to us all, send the court as much details as you can, else they will take a guess which might not be fair. :shock:

How many on here wear a badge? Mine hangs in the car in full view where all the customers can see it, if it's round my neck they can't see it.

I have one for around my neck and one for in my vehicle. Regulations state they should be worn, what's the problem

If he'd worn it like he was supposed to he wouldn't have a fine to worry about :-|

If he'd had 3 bald tyres he'd have been £50 better off :roll:

Regrettably he would be £350 better off, as he wont (despite popular belief) be fined per tyre. :sad:
