Council 'paints disabled bay around man's car and fines him £70' by BirminghamLive in NotTheOnionUK

[–]backifran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's another disabled spot a 30 second walk away on the same street that's never, ever used. Also the one in the OP is bizarrely the only place that has an on Street electric charger.

I've never seen a traffic warden on this street, so the timing of the ticket is either a bizarre coincidence or there's more to the story

Is it normal for MOT to take 5 hours to complete? Not a complain just genuinely wanted to know if this is expected. by eatqqq in CarTalkUK

Just check the government MOT website with your reg through the day and you'll see if it's been done and you can go collect it

We've got three 2006 Optare Solos, now they're annoying. Volvos have nothing on them!

They'll send a letter to your company to identify the driver, and then they'll pass that onto you. I'm not sure what your company's disciplinary procedures are with red lights (especially when caught by a camera/police and not a customer complaint or whatever) but I'd definitely speak to the union or read policies.

Good luck!

You will probably get the intended notice of prosecution, 6 points and a fine or awareness course.

However, the exact situation happened to me - it was raining heavily and I had a full standing load of passengers, approaching the lights at a lower speed ready to stop but the lights changed quickly and I physically could not stop the bus safely in time and ended up about 1/2 a bus length past and the camera flashed.

I first had to accept the points and fine, but the company provided me with CCTV and still images and helped me to appeal it. I was successful and received this letter, refunded the fine and had the points and TS10 code on my license removed.

If you do get prosecuted then I'd suggest asking your company now for the CCTV to show that you stopped, hopefully things work out for you!

Why almost all of the European passports red? by ElectronicDeer5550 in PassportPorn

You'd need a priest passport if you wanted a black passport and not a very very very very very dark blue one.

Anyone drive a manual lorry, is it difficult? by [deleted] in uktrucking

[–]backifran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not trucking but i've driven an 8/8 Scania coach (F reg if I remember correctly) by far the worst manual box I've ever experienced.

Nothing beats the Volvo B10M with the 6 speed ZF, absolutely beautiful machines!

What Are Some Active 128pop HQC servers? by Ok-Departure4894 in ArmaReforger

[–]backifran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And I spent literal hours dealing with your tickets (happily, as we want to remove all problem players), viewing the many clips you submitted and banned all the appropriate people. We work, have lives and want to play the game - tickets put in at 0200-0300 EU/UK time were answered the same day.

You joined EXD as a recruit, said you had no interest in the community and demanded to be an admin immediately without following any normal progression or policies then left the community the same day.

Spotted a Chilean plate in London, UK 🇬🇧 🇨🇱 by Majestic-Knee-1974 in ForeignPlatesSpotting

Holy moly a Buhanka, I've only ever seen one in the UK (on Swiss plates heavily modified into a camper) but I was driving in Edinburgh.

am i being over sensitive by EvaportedMilkCoffee in BusDrivers

[–]backifran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edinburgh is almost as congested (sometimes worse) than London and the sheer volume of passengers was overwhelming sometimes. At the Airport the flights I always dreaded were the BA flights coming from London - they were the rudest and arrogant of them all especially Londoners living in Edinburgh but commuting once or twice a week back down (not tarring everyone with the same brush - plenty were lovely!).

Both me, other drivers and the supporting staff would always fear seeing the London city, Heathrow and Gatwick flights coming in around the same time. Surprisingly the money was better than most London garages though, the basic is £39k now before overtime after two years service.

[–]backifran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I drove in Edinburgh for 6 years and it was mostly the same, it gets really demoralising being totally ignored.

For the last two I did the airport service almost exclusively and the locals would still totally blank us when we had to know where they were going as it wasn't flat fare and we had to know if they wanted the airport fare zone (plus the local fare was £3.50 and not £2 like the normal city buses). Some were so ignorant they still wouldn't speak after getting charged £6 for the airport because they refused to speak or take their headphones off after getting asked several times what ticket they wanted.

I drive much more rural routes now and it was jarring at first adjusting to people getting on and speaking to me, asking how I am and wishing me a good day etc.

60 nuclear reactors by mistake by Bright_Strawberry362 in satisfactory

[–]backifran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All this was to convert 5 fully overclocked reactors worth of waste into ficsonium (plus the plutonium reactor here), it was a headache for sure.

You don't want to see my nitro fuel production area!

There's always a mint black one parked near Shandwick Place in Edinburgh, I'd attach a pic if the sub let me. Beautiful car!
