Maybe im too used to polite words been spoken in a condecending manor. Like when the misses find a packet of cigs in my jacket pocket and asks "do you mind explaining these hmmmmm?" lol

Red if you genuinly are just that polite then no I dont mind explaining. The statement of 60quid and 3 points came from my noggin' cos I thought thats what police gave out for it. I'll wind my own neck in instead.

I have always issued £60 Fixed penalty notices for failing to display!!

And yeah, numberplate has also now gone up to a £60 non endorsable!

The same with failing to produce documents. I once got a producer, got home and could not find my licence. I was actually taken to court and fined for it. Yet on the summons it actually said "on further investigation, it was established Mr Wilkinson did hold a full licence for the class of vehicle he was driving". Having established I could not find my licence. I had the same day applied for a duplicate. The prosecution served no purpose and probable cost more than the fine to process.
