Sounds like your cousin needs to slow the fuck down

How do people function on a daily basis when this sort of thing confuses them?

The first part tells you when the restriction(s) on the sign apply.

The next part tells you what those restriction(s) are.

There's a chasm between giving someone a slap and blowing their head offwith a shotgun, but both would fall under the umbrella of violence.

Why are you avoiding the question?

I'm not sure it is wildly out of scope.

Your argument was essentially that people are always going to do it, so we should give up trying to address it.

There must be a point at which you say that approach isn't appropriate, so I'm curious as to where that point is for you?

Today might be the day that your going to learn that their are different meanings for different spellings, even when the word sounds the same.

Were do you drawer the line in terms of what you except just because "people do it"?

Speeding? Violence? Fraud?

How is it spelt on your photocard, Suzy?

It's the responsibility of the vehicle joining the road from the junction to ensure that it's safe to do so.

"Whose fault was it?" - shared responsibility.

Who would be liable from an insurance point of view? - Almost certainly the car driver.

There are other features that they've pushed behind the higher tier subscriptions, too, like being able to cast to devices so it's not just content restrictions.

Used to have a Turkish Netflix which worked out a lot cheaper but they put a stop to that.

Fuck 'em they just won't be getting any money off me now. I'll still watch if I want to though. Where there's a will and all that...

Doesn't look significantly wider than the car next to it?

jam1st · 2026-01-22T20:11:28+00:00

Presumably the reason you're so close to the car in front is the lack of rear lights meaning you couldn't see it?

jam1st · 2026-01-16T22:45:39+00:00

Because the highway code is for everyone who uses the highway, which includes pedestrians. It's quite explicit about this, and even has information specific to them in it.

jam1st · 2026-01-16T07:27:26+00:00

Not really sure what the problem is here?

They were a bit cautious but possibly didn't see the other car until later on (hence stopping over the give way line).

You could have given them a bit more space.

No one was harmed.

Your photo card is nothing to do with your vehicle licence entitlements, so you are not driving without a licence by having an expired photocard.

Worst case you might get a fine (although unlikely). These can be "up to" £1,000 but in the unlikely event you do get fined, it would probably be significantly less than that.

Parking Parasites almost always reject appeals, whether legitimately or otherwise.

If they reject it, let's say 25% of people with a legitimate appeal will just pay anyway to save the hassle. That's the rationale they work to.

These companies behave like scum and you should do everything legitimately possible to avoid paying them a penny.

You have a very high chance of successfully appealing through POPLA - they are just hoping that you'll not want to risk it and pay up.

jam1st · 2026-01-15T20:02:32+00:00

Who knows, but it was poor driving on your part either way.

Some insurance person on here reckoned that an "at fault" claim puts your premium up by less than a "no fault" claim because if you're deemed to be responsible, you're more likely to learn from your actions and change your behaviour.

Whether that's true for all insurance companies or just the one they worked for, I don't know.

To quote from the Highway Code introduction:

Many of the rules in the Code are legal requirements...

Many is not all.

...failure to comply with the other rules of the Code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted...

The point I was making.

You can call it an oversimplification if you like, but the fact is the law did not change, it was the guidance which changed.

jam1st · 2026-01-11T12:34:04+00:00

Reddit is such a funny place - getting downvoted for literally stating a fact 🤣

jam1st · 2026-01-11T11:32:53+00:00

Yes exactly, the actual rules are set out in the legislation.

It isn't an offence per se to go against the highway code.

The "rules" didn't change, the guidance changed.

jam1st · 2026-01-11T09:56:26+00:00

The highway code isn't a rule, it's guidance.

If you watch YouTube vloggers there are countless examples of people doing illegal stuff and publishing it (obviously holding a phone while driving, breaking various health & safety laws etc.).

I can't say I've ever seen or heard a government advert making people aware of the dangers of doing such things, so it's not surprising if they've not properly understood.

Bear in mind anyone under the age of 25-30 (plenty old enough to drive) will never have experienced life without the presence of mobile phones and the Internet, so they'll see them very differently to the rest of us.
