New legislation is on it's way. Listening to Talksport yesterday with Mike Dickin. The Police will be monitoring Boyracers and Joy Riders. If stopped(!) they will be given a warning not to do it again and slap their wrists. They might have been caught for a number of reasons such as speeding, dangerous driving etc.
If it happens again then their car will be put in a compound and held until they pay circa £100.00 to retrieve it.
Note this though. No points, no fines, no loss of licence.
However, if I was caught speeding or any of the above I would have the book thrown at me. It doesn't make sense. Doesn't pay to insure, tax your car and have a current MOT. Being honest makes the Policeman's life a luxury.
Would love to tell plod that i'm only a 40 year boy racer at heart and see what response I would get!
