You say some people on here are in tolerant, well some ( thankfully a very small minority) must be mind numbingly simple if they think it is ok for people to have no respect for our law under the excuse “oh I did not know’ the law makes no exceptions for you understanding it or how its applied. Would you turn a blind eye to someone down your road dealing drugs if they were polish, and maybe though it was ok in the UK?? With the excuse, oh I was not told it was against the law therefore it must be ok! Extreme I know but the principle is the same. I don’t consider myself intolerant or a racist I will openly grass on anyone who breaks the law so openly, knowingly or not! And yes if I saw you riding around with out a tax disc on I would report it, how do I know you actually have it under your seat?? For all I know you are not taxed, therefore not insured!! If you ride around with no tax on display can you reasonably expect not to be tugged at some point, yes I know it would be cleared up in 5 min, however it is actually an offence to ride drive without a valid tax disc on display. So I don’t see how you could complain if you got tugged. Bottom line is I would report anyone for the offences originally listed, be them white black yellow etc etc. your colour or creed makes no difference to me. I really don’t see why some people think that just because I an others on here would report wrong doing committed by a non brit it makes them racist, what is so wrong about wanting your country to be a good place to be and all who live here to abide by our way of living and accept our values and traditions, again if that makes me a racist in some of your eyes so be it I am then!! for me its a personal pride thing, a stand agains everything that i see as wrong in the UK and most people are too lazy to complain about, give me one, just one reason how any one on here can justify whay they are doing and 'cos they dont know 'is not a reason Last edited by neio79; 03-08-07 at 09:48 AM. |

I can tolerate the cars that may or may not be taxed/insured but this is insufferable!!!

So instead, you want HGV drivers who can't read the road signs driving around lost and distracted? This is just common sense tbh, and Ed pointed out the reasoning behind it. Confusing drivers causes accidents, simple as, I'd sooner have a few polish road signs where they're helpful than an HGV parked on my bike.

I can see both sides to this particulay point, yes it helps the driver understand what is being asked of him ( other than following traffic and the obvious blocked road ahead/contraflow etc)
However do other countries put up road work signs in English?? hmmm! the UK is the capital of the soft let not say/do anything incase it upsets them, ohh you cant do that pink and fluffy PC n*b brigade, FFS when will it all end. Civil war i say, lets just have a big ruck and see who is standing! |

![]() ![]() Don't really wanna get involved in the argument, but in my experience, all the Polish people I know do have insurance, but I do accept the point about tax. I guess if they run the car 99% of the time i the UK, they should pay UK tax. I know one lad with an R1 who took it back to Poland and registered it there to avoid the speed camera fines, but it is fully taxed / insured etc to ride in the UK. Uninsured drivers are just pr$%ks regardless of nationality. |

Not sure if this goes off thread slightly, apologies if it does.
I recently carried out a stop check on a Polish male, and my control room operator asked me if my radio was secure, there was a marker on the PNC to locate/trace this male and pass on details to INTERPOL. I did this and was contacted back by them, they were in the process of having a Polish arrest warrant for the male sent over and translated. He is wanted in his homeland for SEVERAL drink-drive charges, SEVERAL drive while disqualified charges and a couple of fail to stop at scene of accidents. Methinks that he will fall into the category of habitual drink-drivers who just don't get it, all I can say is I hope that this guys next accident doesn't involve anyone on this site. To report or not report them is a matter of conshuns (don't ask me to spell it !!!!!!!), for the original poster, bearing in mind they are almost neighbours, but if taken in the context of my guy above, what price do you put on a life taken by an untaxed, un-insured, un-safe vehicle driven by an un-licensed driver. |

![]() Nobody's saying that ignorance makes it OK to break the law- what Ed said is that it should be taken into account, and as anyone with an understanding of the law or how its applied knows, it is. Intent is always a consideration in any criminal or civil trial.
