Effect of a "Failing to stop..." conviction Does anyone have any idea on what sort of difference in insurance premium you might face after a "Failing to stop following an accident" and "failing to report..." conviction?

Ooops - red light - easily done... I was stopped at a strange 3-way junction yesterday, which I have driven through several times in the last few years, but certainly not regularly. I was waiting to turn right, in the right lane. Its one of those double traffic lights, where you have 2 red-amber-green lights next to each other. The green light w... 6 Aug 2010 12:43

200 pound fines for using the 2012 Olympic traffic lanes It looks like it's going to be a virtually total lock-down in London in 2012 (unless you're one of the 'elite'). There will be a whole new level of surveillance set up, and £200 fines for straying into the 'Olympic Lanes'. <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/olympics/7916671/London-201 2-Olympics-wi... 30 Jul 2010 08:37
Some drivers just never seem to learn I happened to be watching the driver of a small silver car ahead of me in L1, on a busy urban dual carriageway, with roundabouts and turn off's etc.. The fun started, when a white transit driver alongside him in L2 started drifting over into L1. Obviously he had not seen the car in his blind spot, but then p... 31 Jul 2010 18:25
