KER-CHIIIIIIING!

Greetings, motorist cash-cows.

A new £15 "Victim Levy" is to be added to FPNs.

Remember, using your phone while driving is *not* a victimless crime.

Now, shuffle up nice and tight in the stalls, and try to keep the mooing
down a bit.

 

My first thought on seeing that this morning was much the same along
with thank **** this lot will be gone by June and then the realisation
that whatever/whoever happens to get in it's still best to assume the
position.

 

sensible policies and all that...

What the **** are the decision makers of this country on?

 

A bonus system.

Only 15 quid? This government doesn't think big enough.

"There's £40m of unpaid compensation so if you were a victim and
awarded compensation, the chances of receiving that compensation are
very, very low"

err, am I losing my ability to comprehend English, or does that not
make any sense?

 

I think it makes sense, but it's a logical error in that the unpaid sum
does not necessarily mean that there is a low chance of getting
compensation.

It makes sense, in the meaning of "you might have been awarded it, but
just see if your payment ever makes it through the system"

Go easy on the mimosas.

 

Quite. I suppose you can read it as "You can be awarded compensation,
but you'll be fucked if you ever receive a penny".

 

I think I can see what he means. There is a stack of unpaid compensation so
the chance of a victim actually getting any decent amount of compensation is
obviously **** all.
