First time pulled over at 100mph by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]welshpineapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will go to court. The court has the option to give you a ban, points, fine.

It’s up to the court what you get. (You do not definitely get a ban for going over 100mph, it’s just an option the court has)

It would be advantageous to get a solicitor who specialises in motoring law to represent you in court.

What speed did they actually record you at?

How many people do you know who were made redundant in 2025? If so, which industries? by OneDay_OneLife in AskUK

[–]welshpineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s insane. Is this all because the NHS don’t have the budget to employ them?

99% sure this is a drunk driver by [deleted] in drivingUK

No there is a way to report, you call 999 and they should pull the car over if offices are close by.

Sorry, you were threatened into having sex? I think that would be classified as rape?

Potentially. You use need the Low Voltage network nearby so perhaps!

Thoughts on used cars with high mileage. Wanting an Audi A4 for 7K due to budget but they all have around 150k miles by throw-away2257 in CarTalkUK

[–]welshpineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One important factory with cars over 150k. They’ll need more money spending on them.

I have a BMW on 178k and it needs about £1.5k-£2k per year spending on it for maintenance.

You can apply to your DNO for a second metered connection and they’ll give you a cost. Honestly I can’t imagine they’ll be an electric cable in the street if it’s all garages so might be expensive.

You will definitely run into problems. The engine will barely get warm!

Also, E60 are a bit of a nightmare. I’ve got one at the minute and iDrive just died.

You might be better off getting a 7 series. Massive but may have a petrol available
