What the hell is going on in this world?

*sigh*

I wonder if he would have received the same letter if he was a convicted murdered. I suspect not.

What you you doing reading the Mansfield Chad?

Pathetic though, none the less :/

You just couldn't make it up

Would be funny if every glazier then actively refused to fit replacement windows there.

People with speeding points are CRIMINALS. Didn't you know???

[pedant]Actually, you have. [/pedant]

You couldn't make it up, could you? Tesco are willing to give our Malc a chance and other police forces are employing people like the woman mentioned in the story but Nottinghamshire police are so righteous, they can't allow someone who drives too fast to mend their windows.

Ridiculous

That doesn't do him any favours. He *has* been in trouble with the law, otherwise he'd have never been issued points?

However, there's just no common sense. How common are speeding offences? I have no idea but I'd hazard a guess quite a few citizens having them. I myself have 3 points (which reminds me, they should expire soon) but to class me in the same league as more "traditional" criminals is just silly. If we started saying if you have misdemeanors on your record you can't do this and that, the entire economy would grind to a halt and only those with a sparkling record would ever be allowed to do anything.
