how much have you spent..

[Rave]

Three parking tickets, totalling £90 (I think). Two of them were when I was parked outside my own house without a permit. The traffic warden put them on the offside window facing the road so I wouldn't see them, and put the second one over the first. I nearly put a brick through the town hall window for that piece of sheer, unnecessary nastiness.

A couple of years later my housemate was in the same situation, and got let off when he moaned. Wish I'd done that.

Oh, and the third time, I went back to put some more change in the car park machine, only to find I'd already been ticketed. On my way back down the parking attendant got in the lift and greeted me with a cheery smile. Technically I was at fault so I resisted the urge to nut him.

Rich :¬)

LOL £0 on fines but pulled 3 times.

1st been driving for a week forgot to turn my lights on untill a police van blocked my patch and flashed his lights! LOL got a procducer.

2nd traveling too close to a mini and doing 33mph in a 30mph zone, bugger stop me from going into my drive and had a "chat with me". slap on the wrist.

3rd, dangerous driving and i went sidewards round a roundabout, god knows how i didn't see the 4x4! got taken to the local nick for breatheriser, maxium is 35 points, i got 33,34. very close (yes my one and only time drink driving - not my best moment. again producer.

[Moby-Dick]

I had a bit of an incedent about 5 years ago when I was a whitevan man.

Believe me you can be very, very observant and still be pulled / nicked.

You must obviously drive like a girl

what ya hit? a person??

the first time i got stopped (knackered exhaust) i got a producer and the second time (brake light out) i just got asked to fix it. funny thing was i was doing 60 in an nsl, slowed down a bit for a nice big wet roundabout, took it sideways, kept the car @ 45 and carried on my way at 45-50 down a 40 limit, cop car must have seen everything cos the only time i braked was before the roundabout - yet he didnt even mention it

[Skii]

£60 Sp30 (37 mph)

[Moby-Dick]

nope , I hit someones brand new accord and knackered the bumper.

I'd nipped into a side turning to get out of the way of some numpty comgin the wrong way up a 1 way street.

there where bollards aroeund and I thought i'd grazed one on the way pass.

[DR]

50 quid on a parking ticket- apart from that nothing...

[Lead_Head]

£0 so far! (crosses fingers)...

I just know that I will get done for something though, it's nie on impossible!

yeah likewise, 0 pull overs, 0 fines. 1 breathaliser when I wrote off a metro 10 years ago. I'm just waiting to be pulled over/done for speeding, I knows its right round the corner, i've been too lucky in the past... The number of times i've slowed down for no reason, gone round a corner or over a hill brow and seen a mobile speed trap is ridiculous.

ha ha ....

ok i lived in fulham for 3 years, at 8am everyday all the roads (the only places to park are marked bays) become swamped with wardens (they drive around in cars for quick responce) looking to earn their days money.

ive paid well over 1k in fines .. being too drunk, hung over, cant be ar$ed to get up ... and move the car to a safe area ... completely my own fault.

a funny one was i parked my car in a parking bay all fully legit, when i returned to it the week later, the parking bay had been changed to a '3 hour maximum stay' bay, i had 5 tickets, one everyday from Monday to Friday! these got deleted by the council ...

even worse are the Bus lane fines, had a 8 month argument with Wandsworth council over crossing a bus lane to turn left, all spotted on cctv. the fine was upto around £240 when it was cleared.
