Whats all that about....

datalas:
I would imagine that they merely saw a young person in a small car with lowered suspension and blackened out windows.  Whilst in this case it might have been being driven carefully by someone that can actually drive they were possibly concerned by cisions of it ploughing through a bus load of nuns because the driver couldn't see out of the windscreen :)

I'm a little disturbed by the fact that they were doing their job without sticking to the letter of the law seems to have caused so much anger.  They could have hurled the book at him, they didn't they just wanted him to watch where he was going, sounds alright to me...

drmike:
I agree that they dealt with the tinted windows in a sensible way - but surely to goodness they should have checked MOT/Insurance at the same time?

I wouldn't say I was angry but I do find it depressing that when given the chance the powers that be don't chase up the basics like MOT/Insurance. No insurance is a major problem now and it's hard to check without asking the driver to produce the documents - as far as I know.

nope,all on computer now,along with road tax and mot. the don't have to stop you,the summons goes straight to your door :shock:

datalas:
There is a national insurance database as well as a national mot database, you can get car tax online without having to show documents for either.  The likelyhood is, they knew more about the car before they got out of the car than the owner does :)

drmike:
I didn't realise that there was an insurance database. The MOT database is surely partial as my own MOT wasn't a computerised one.

I assume the automatic summons you refer to would be from one of those roadside jobs for tax.
