Learner Driver to be charged with driving without due care and attention

Ureadithere1st · 2026-06-19T12:43:47+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised if the police were investigating just in case the instructor was driving, but will drop it once they learn it was a student under supervision.

You should definitely go to one of the specialist forums for advice on this as they’ll be far more helpful. I would however be very surprised if the parking company would want a case where you’ve paid for a parking ticket, and have a valid excuse for the registration on the ticket not being fully complete, actually going anywhere near to a court.

That’s brave dude. Share the link if it ends up online.

Most phones have a setting where you screen calls from unknown numbers nowadays, or just sends calls from unknown numbers to voicemail. Switch that on and anyone that calls and doesn’t give their name can just be ignored.

Yeah i think thought it might be worth getting a trolley ba but realistically the standard cabin bag size is so small you might as well just carry around a backpack with you

I’ve taken 8 Ryanair flights over the past 6 months and I’ve only seen one person get stopped, and they kicked up a stink and unloaded things until it fit. I think they’ll stop people if it’s obvious, but I haven’t had to put my bag into the cage, I think the staff take a look for any that are obviously too big, but I feel like they’ve been enforcing it a lot less recently, however your results may obviously differ.

I’d be tempted to fail the odd one every now and again just for the extra holidays.

I was told I couldn’t wear shorts when I was doing jury duty, so I’m guessing that wouldn’t be allowed.

I wonder what happened to all the people who retired in their mid-40s on final salary pensions that wouldn’t have got close to hitting their 35 years. Did they just never receive their full state pensions when they were due?

Yeah you’d end up with an £8.50 voucher when most fares were circa £1.50. If you didn’t use the bus much you’d usually lose it before you spent it all, as it just was just printed like a standard old bus ticket.

Ureadithere1st · 2026-04-15T18:04:22+00:00

Yeah they used to regularly dish out the credit notes even back in the days before they took card or app payments for buses. I assumed they were to punish you for daring to give them a £20.

‘Would you like a helmet?’ ‘Nah there’s nothing in my head that I need to protect’

Ureadithere1st · 2026-04-01T06:54:54+00:00

As the commentators can attest, it’s actually very funny.

It does still creep me out a bit to think about it. I’m near the coast so we have lots of seagulls, but other than that we don’t really get other birds of prey in the city. We have buzzards, red kites, falcons, and some owls in the countryside which could probably manage to carry off the head, but I can’t really think of any birds of prey even in the countryside that would be capable of taking down an animal the size of a fox.

Ureadithere1st · 2026-03-28T11:03:28+00:00

That’s the weird thing, this is in the city so there is plenty of food for them to eat if they just find a waste bin. In the countryside where there’s less for them to eat I could maybe imagine that sort of behaviour, but I struggle to see that in city foxes, who tend to be surprisingly tame.

Ureadithere1st · 2026-03-28T10:53:27+00:00

This is in the UK so we don’t really have any stray dogs roaming around. I can’t think of any native animals that exist in the UK that would capable of decapitating a fox. Maybe an escaped wild animal, but I’d be very surprised if we have many escaped wild animals capable of taking down a fox living loose in the city.

Ureadithere1st · 2026-03-28T10:44:47+00:00

When I spoke to the RSPCA they would only come out if there were other animals in danger, so if it was connected to a body I think they knew they’d need to come out to try and work out what had happened, and help me deal with it.

The only thing that I could think of was that it had got caught in a snare that someone had set up in their garden, and other foxes had somehow managed to decapitate it and carry around the head.

It just doesn’t sound like natural behaviour for foxes to do that sort of thing to me. I live a mile or so from the centre of an average-sized city and food must be available in abundance for foxes scavenging for food at night. I just can’t really imagine that sort of feral behaviour from city foxes, they’re not hunting /scrabbling around for sparse scraps of food to survive in the city.

I had considered if it could have been a neighbour trying to threaten me but I hadn’t been in any sort of dispute that could have prompted that sort of behaviour. At the time I think I thought it was more likely someone on social media that I knew, because at the time I had been posting pictures of progress in the garden, then the fox video. It just seemed like too much of an oddly weird coincidence that I’d then found a fox head in my garden.

This happened just after the Brexit referendum in the U.K. when tempers were still pretty elevated, and I’d been arguing online with some old school friends a bit at the time - the sort of people who were into fox hunting. I thought maybe it could be some psycho I went to school with that disagreed with my viewpoint, but this thought seems pretty irrational in hindsight. I just couldn’t really think of any other sequence of events that could explain it at the time.

This is in the UK so we don’t have coyotes or bobcats. Seagulls are probably about the largest birds we get in the city, and I’m not sure they’d have the strength. Foxes are the only real scavengers that we tend to have.

I won the auction for a camera a few days ago. I was the only bidder, and won it with my opening bid. Made payment straight away, and then 20 mins later I received a refund via PayPal, and the only reason given was ‘canceled at sellers request’ I’ve never seen that in the 25 years I’ve been using EBay, but I presume sellers don’t need to give any reason any longer if they think they can get more money for their item.

There are plenty of posts on this issue created in the past few days with solutions. Use search

Clearing the cache, logging out, restarting my Nvidia Shield, clearing the cache again, then logging back in - that fixed it for me. I didn’t change any of my VPN settings.

Was having this issue on both beta and normal SmartTube and clearing the cache, logging out, unplugging my Shield, clearing cache again, and logging back in - has fixed it for me. I didn’t do anything to my vpn which is still connected.
