But you started being a rep in an Escort, then you could work your way up to a Cortina 1.6L , then 2.0GL if you were really good at selling, making them as common as muck, which is what Audi’s and BMW’s are now, not something special.

Didn't one of @Arjimlad's photography subjects do worse? Accepted an awareness course ( thereby accepting his guilt) and then not show, resulting in an easy prosecution and conviction.The only reason that he got such a big fine is that he refused to cooperate... He could have gone on an awareness course but refused to. Presumably because he is such an amazingly safe driver, and it is the rest of the world that is wrong...

Will he get offered an awareness course until this conviction is "spent"? I hope not.

Not quite as bad as the Sierra. If somebody blew a candle out in the next town they'd bump sideways.

It was like driving a comfortable powerful barge! It was a late 90's model so they'd sorted out some of the worst of barge like characteristics by then to be fair.
I'd previously been driving a 306XSi which was way less BHP but actually went where you pointed it around corners.

No, that one didn't accept the course but instead appealed it, failed to show, convicted in his absence, appealed that and failed to show again! There's probably a plentiful supply of these daffodils.
I'm totally using " I've been bitten by a squirrel " as an excuse to skip an unpleasant meeting, though !
