  1. DRIVERS who fail to admit who was driving when a speeding crime was committed are set to be penalised under new laws from Monday. A court will be able to slap six penalty points on a driver’s licence, up from a current maximum of three. The law change is in response to an increase in attempted dodging of speeding tickets by motorists claiming they cannot remember who was driving at the time of the offence. But motoring groups say innocent drivers will be forced to confess to offences to avoid the risk of receiving a higher penalty. And they added that drivers who made errors in filling out forms would be unfairly penalised and could lose their licences. Under Section 172 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, vehicle owners are obliged to tell police who was driving at the time of an alleged motoring offence. The maximum fine will remain the same - up to £1,000 - but the Department for Transport believes doubling the points will be a deterrent, especially for drivers who already have points on their licences. Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed anti-speed camera campaign, criticised the move. He said: “This change has absolutely nothing to do with road safety - it’s just spiteful. The authorities have forgotten that driving licence points were supposed to help identify risky drivers. "Giving extra points to people who simply fumble the paperwork will further devalue the licence points system.” He said drivers who shared a car or allowed others to drive it could often genuinely not remember who had been driving. A Department for Transport spokeswoman said there would still be a defence for motorists who could give a good reason why they did not know who was driving. But she added that they would probably be required to go to court and convince magistrates of their innocence.

  15. Close your eyes and go back in time... Before the Internet... Before semi-automatics, joyriders and crack.... Before SEGA or Super Nintendo... Way back........ I'm talking about Hide and Seek in the park. The corner shop. Hopscotch. Butterscotch. Skipping. Handstands. Football with an old can. Fingerbob. Beano, Dandy, Buster, Twinkle and Dennis the Menace. Roly Poly. Hula Hoops, jumping the stream, building dams. The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass. Bazooka Joe bubble gum. An ice cream cone on a warm summer night from the van that plays a tune. Chocolate or vanilla or strawberry or maybe Neapolitan or perhaps screwball. Wait...... Watching Saturday morning cartoons, short commercials or the flicks. Children's Film Foundation, The Double Deckers, Red Hand Gang, Tomorrow People, Tiswas or Swapshop?, and 'Why Don't You'? - or staying up for Doctor Who. When around the corner seemed far away and going into town seemed like going somewhere. Earwigs, wasps, stinging nettles and bee stings. Sticky fingers. Playing Marbles. Ball bearings. Big 'uns and Little 'uns. Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, and Zorro. Climbing trees. Making igloos out of snow banks. Walking to school, no matter what the weather. Running till you were out of breath, laughing so hard that your stomach hurt. Jumping on the bed. Pillow fights. Spinning around on roundabouts, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles. Being tired from playing....remember that? The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. Football cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle. Choppers and Grifters. Eating raw jelly. Orange squash ice pops. Vimto and Jubbly lollies Remember when... There were two types of trainers - girls and boys, and Dunlop Green Flash The only time you wore them at School was for P.E. And they were called gym shoes or if you are older - plimsoles You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents. It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends. You didn't sleep a wink on Christmas Eve. When nobody owned a pure-bred dog. When 25p was decent pocket money Curly Whirlys. Space Dust. Toffo's. Top Trumps. When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny. When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it. When being sent to the head's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving pupil at home. Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs etc. Remember when.... Decisions were made by going "Ip, Dip, Dog ****" Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in Monopoly The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was germs. And the worst thing in your day was having to sit next to one. It was unbelievable that 'British Bulldog 123' wasn't an Olympic event. Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a catapult. Nobody was prettier than Mum. Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better. Taking drugs meant orange-flavoured chewable aspirin. Ice cream was considered a basic food group. Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true. Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors. If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED.
