Hi All,
I am sorry Moggy but I have to agree with Charlie. One question though if you knew you had been speeding why the need for a brief why not be honest and plead guilty to the charge ?

Geoff.

Hi All,
Moogy,
I am sorry but I do not understand why you would still need a brief to plead guilty and accept the punishment ? I assume it’s not a legal requirement to have a brief when pleading guilt is it ? Please advise not being legally minded in the process of the law courts it would come in handy for future reference if needed :eagerness:

Hi All,
Mr Batfastard that’s a new one on me, a disguised compliment if ever there was one :highly_amused: just call me Geoff/Fatty/Doughboy anything you like 😀
Why not do a multi kit that you can make say three or four different aircraft from the same kit ?

Finding the money hurt. It was equivalent to my after tax earnings for a month. But without my licence it is likely that my earnings, and those of nearly thirty other people would have been reduced or ended. So the overdraft just became greater. I didn’t have the resources , but Natwest did.

Moggy.

Hi All,
You should have thought about your licence and the thirty other people who obviously rely on you before you stuck your toe down simple! If as you say their earnings were dependant on you, then you are guilty of being reckless with complete disregard for those other peoples lives even more so and not just your own because of your own actions.

Hi All,
Isn’t the problem more along the lines that as the world moves on while taking note of the problems and slowly trying to fix them no matter what the subject matter is they are running out of things to aid there cause and are choosing softer targets to try and get their points across, IMHO all these protest groups move from one cause to the next when they either succeed or hit a brick wall with their current protest.
Ask yourself this if all their causes where met in full what would they do ? They are just like armed rebels when the fighting is over what do they do now they have no fight but still have the arms ?

Hi All,
It’s not his actions but the defending of his actions that get under my skin, watch the video in the DONT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU thread on this section of the forum that could easily have happened to moggy while he was speeding or anybody else for that matter no matter who speeds you cannot defend against it unless an emergency was occurring.
So because nobody was around it was o.k. then ? Well in that case how extreme can you take the law ? Well there was nobody around so I shot the ******** ?? Why are you getting personal Moggy ? You are the one who stated your history about getting off a speeding ban by having a barrister and IMHO would say you are only trying to persuade yourself that what you did was a good thing, you got court speeding nothing more nothing less.
Your use of a barrister was a means of effectively of using your workforce as mitigating circumstances for your own actions, I do wonder though had the tables been turned and it was one of your workforce that had been in the same position would you have the same frame of mind.
I agree my opinion counts for nothing, there is no need to start being personal because I counter your argument for a positive spin on what should have
been an straight forward guilty plea without need for a barrister and that is what this thread was concerned about people affording barristers just to evade a harsher punishment.

Hi All,
I agree a very sad happening but this is what can happen when speeding in a car or as in this case a bike, the bike rider 97m.ph.?? In what universe is it safe to be doing that sort of speed when there is other traffic around and on an A Rd, I am sorry but even as a bike rider myself my sympathy goes out to the car driver as he would just not have the reaction time considering the bike speed to avert an accident.
I have looked at the beginning of the video a few times the bike rider has broken the law on three separate instances before the accident, 1st – Speeding 97m.p.h.,2nd – He crossed into the herringbones while illegally overtaking,3rd – Overtaking illegally approaching a junction.
