Hope someone can help with my options......

I was caught speeding on the M62 two weeks ago by an unmarked police vehicle. My average speed was 96.48mph. I was told by the West Yorkshire Police officer that due to my average being over 95mph he was unable to issue me with a speeding ticket and that the matter would now be dealt with by the Magistrates. I believe I could be looking between 3-6 penalty points and a minimum fine of £60.

As I live in Manchester the prospect of travelling to Leeds for the court summons is something I am not looking forward to due to managerial work commitments. I am 28, have never been caught speeding before and this is my first motoring offence.

I believe there is an option not to appear in court and to accept whatever the Magistrates throw at me. Would appearing in court increase my chances of a more lenient decision regarding points and fines?

Any advice would be greatly received. Thanks

Mr B

His babies mama told him last night that he had to go to court on March 21. He hasn't been issued a supena or served with papers. He also has another court case in traffic court on the same day 2 counties away. If he doesn't go to traffic court then he will probably loose his job, ,becuase it will be 6 points on his liscense. He has no idea about the court date for child support though. Is he required to go if he hasn't been served? Is there anyway he can get the court dates pushed back or forward? He really needs to make both apperances.....


HELP PLEASE!

I'm so upset. We are suppose to be getting married in April... I dont want to get married then not see him for 3 months becuase he couldn't make one court date.

as an Englishman, it always amazes me, that Americans seem frightened to laugh or have fun.They are so serious in every aspect, that i suspect the government has threatened to "remove them from the equation"is they chuckle.

She may not be commander-in-chief, but she isn't fighting for this change.

And, Hillary has NOT said that she will overturn it.

Gen. Pace calls homosexuality immoral

Associated Press

WASHINGTON - The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Monday he considers homosexuality to be immoral and the military should not condone it by allowing gay personnel to serve openly, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Marine Gen. Peter Pace likened homosexuality to adultery, which he said was also immoral, the newspaper reported on its Web site.

"I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way," Pace told the newspaper in a wide-ranging interview.

Pace, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., and a 1967 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, said he based his views on his upbringing...

Does this man know that the first casualty in Iraq was a gay Marine? He lost his leg.

General Pace does. Here is an AP article. Feel free to read it.

I agree with him that homosexuality is immoral and that the Armed Forces should not have to tolerate it, in any form.

What do you think? ALL opinions are welcomed, but don't get on me for having my beliefs. You are welcome to yours.

Lou Dobbs did a piece about the laws of Hazelton, PA today.

He supports the mayor of Hazelton as the mayor tries to protect citizens.

Dobbs moans about illegal aliens. He is fed up with them. But, he refuses to get on the case of Dems.

Right after that 5 minute story was over, Dobbs was blasting Cheney over something or other.

This guy seems very immoral to me. He won't berate Dems even though he hates their policies. Why?

I was just reading the news and was wondering what thoughts you lovely people have on the topic. Do you think that parents have the right to know that teenagers get contraceptives and abortions? do you agree with the conservatives?


LONDON (Reuters) - A Conservative MP is trying to get the law changed to give parents the right to know before their under-age daughters are given contraception or are having an abortion.

In my opinion it is the greed factor. Socialism fails to account for the basic human nature to achieve in life. While capitalism embraces and encourages it.

Capitalists are dedicated to the principle that they have the right to achieve all that they desire in life and are only limited by their willingness to work harder to obtain their desires. They are rooted in the concept of individual responsibility for success or failure.

Socialists hold the opinion that all people should be equal in all things. If someone has more they are not really entitled to the spolis of their effort, but rather should be forced to share because they have achieved more. They hold the opinion that there should be collective control and redistribution of all resources and that people will worker harder simply for the benefit of the collective.

Socialism can be somewhat incorporated into a capitalist system, but pure socialism will always be doomed to fail.

What is your opinion?

I am in a year and almost a half relationship...Two weeks into the relationship my bf admitted to having cheated one of the first nights. I forgave him. He says he hasnt done it since...sometimes it pops into my head. He has lied about many other things not that though since. Tonight it just wont leave my head. I even pictured the scene. It makes me sick. I have thought about cheating but never did it.
I really love him but hate him so much sometimes.
I don't know what to do.
Tonight I almost feel like breaking up with him b/c I feel like if a year and a half later I am still thinking about it...I will never forget it...
And I will never be able to get passed it, and our relationship will never get past a certain point and if it doesnt what is the point...
(sigh)
Im so sad right now but I cant call him.
P.S. One month ago our relationship turned into a long distance one...it will stay this way for the next three months.
How do I cope?
What to do?

as an Englishman i find it amazing that the USA is still officially a third world country.Having recently visited the USA, i have noticed a great improvment in buildings and infrastructure.In the main cities they have good rail links and transport is certainly better.I suppose the one thing that lets them down is lack of proper entertainment/resturants.
in what year do Americans see the country losing this awful stigma?

What would be the worst consequence for loss of a Social Insurance Number card? I am afraid I may lost it somewhere. Maybe on the bus, or in a pub!
How to replace it? Report loss? Can other people get my money in my bank accounts?

This pathetic excuse of a government believes that pricing us off the road is the answer to environmental problems. I suggest that we outlaw Tea and Coffee!! Think about it, Tea and Coffee are imported from far away and therefore we clock up millions of miles of industrial travel to get it here. On the other hand think of the billions of killer watts of energy wasted every day to heat the water for these drinks! Let’s tax hot drinks out of existence! I need my car to get to work! No one needs Tea! Another plus is that people will sleep better!
Do you agree?
