I know this is probably the wrong place to say, but i just cant help myself:
This is where Britain is going wrong.
Playing the justice system to one's own favour......driving without due care and attention - whatever way you look at it - should be punished so that the person committing the crime is actually punished, and not just losing a few quid here and there!
What If this lack of care and attention caused an accident?
Would this person still be on here trying to wrangle any payouts so that it wont really affect him/her each month??
As the old saying goes - if you cant do the time, dont do the crime.
Personally, i think that if you do commit a crime, you should be punished accordingly and NO exceptions made for plea bargains, etc!
