Craig855S Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I dont get the £3607 part? Does that mean that between 7 people paying to get their cars back they had to part with £3607? I thought the recovery from impound fee was only 100 quid or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynegc123 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I really wish SA could be more like this. People here don't give a crap about the road rules. And all of them get away with it. The only thing I think they get fined for is speeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damien666 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Some people never learn lol Buy a car for £300, fill er full of red and if you're caught, let them take the car and buy another at £300. Even if you were caught once a year it still works out cheaper than buying clear diesel. Whats the story with red diesel in england? Is it as big as it is here? Are there checkpoints set up round the country to catch people? Sorry for my stupidity, i'm just a thick paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a bunch of idiots were caught speeding/no insurance etc. ? who's complaining? i'm glad to see some dangerous scrap off the road. i too learned the hard way after a 15 month ban. i don't agree with all the cars getting lifted for running on red diesel though. the tax on clear is extortionate!
