I hate to say it, but a member of my family has NEVER had tax, insurance, MOT or a legal car or bike. He buys old bangers from dodgy blokes in pubs (last time it was a fiesta he swapped for 200 fags). He runs them round until they break down then he leaves them at the side of the road. He has been caught by the police loads of times. He either gives false name/address or if they suss him, he goes to court and pleads poverty. He thinks WE are the idiots, being ripped off by insurance companies. When we argue about the consequences of hitting someone when uninsured he says "there's an insurance scheme victims can claim from if hit by an uninsured driver". It's caused huge family rows and I now no longer see him (last time we came to blows over this). The point of this rant is his total fines so far come to less than my insurance for one year. It's a f*****g joke. |
