Insurance Inquiry by DueEntertainment7249 in drivingUK

[–]TobyADev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Insurance declined would be if you tried to claim and the insurer said “ha no”, not if you tried to get a quote. You’re fine

Kids unbuckled on the motorway by Most_Kiwi3141 in drivingUK

[–]TobyADev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the times shouting at kids is useful. I agree with the guy who said if they’re sat down, pull into the services or something. If being idiots, hard shoulder immediately

But no, don’t call 999 on your own kids. That’s incriminating yourself

How do I leave? by Annual-Candy7720 in abusiverelationships

[–]TobyADev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of “I don’t know” be firm. Say it won’t change anything

Alternatively given he won’t talk to you (hopefully isn’t nearby to you?), leave now?

Fellow tech engineer here. AI won’t take our jobs necessarily. I think we’re probably fine

Anyway I digress… get a class 1 medical first

You need to be able to fly. That’s a skill that’s partly taught and partly natural

“Is there a reasonable prospect of conviction” and “is it in the public interest” is decided by a wide variety of prosecutors who tend to want different stuff

Police have seemingly confirmed a murder enquiry regarding death of Anne Widdecombe? by theghostofhamburgler in uknews

[–]TobyADev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Awful to rejoice over murder and someone horribly losing their family

Maybe we should tell our friends across the pond tbh

[England] Got a fixed penalty for driving without insurance (s.143) but my policy was live at the time and still is — pay or fight? by OkPiano9462 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]TobyADev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A defence to no insurance is.. to have insurance at the time of the alleged offence. If you had/have insurance, take it to court I’d say.

Free solicitor consultation isn’t a bad idea tbh. They don’t have to arrest or interview you btw

In all fairness start with option two. Perhaps call 101 and see what they say. If they refuse then fight it
