outlaw118 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Just had a text message from someone saying that the old bill, with effect from tomorrow, will be issuing fixed penalty notices to drivers with a build up of snow on the roof of the car.This sounds like bollocks to me, but just in case, thought I'd mention it......

Mr_Bo11ox Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I would have thought the old bill would be too busy to bother with thats sort of shite over the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I got the message twice the other night, also "from tomorrow". From time to time individual forces might decide to target a particular offence but it's highly unlikely that every force in the country would decide to target the same offence on the same day.

Guest Leonard Hatred Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I heard about it yesterday, and the day before. When is tomorrow, yesterday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 FACT - Yesterday one of my sisters friends was pulled over by the police and got 3 points and a fine for having snow on the roof of his car, The copper said it was to do with it coming off and blinding the car driver behind, Unbelievable.

Guest Leonard Hatred Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 How much snow was on the roof? It seems fair enough if there was a lot. It can be pretty dangerous following a car with snow blowing off its roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what about falling snow then?? Or rain come to that! Just ridiculous but easy money I guess and you can't argue with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Leonard Hatred Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Falling snow and rain is a bit different to blithely setting off from your house with a massive slab of snow on the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the copper had received the same text and believed it. Something similar happened depressingly often with the England flags rumour didn't it?

brammy777 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I thought the issue with snow on the roof of a car was it sliding forwards under braking and blinding the driver. I have seen it happen many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryoldcortina Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I'd agree with the sliding forwards under braking theory (which puts it under the catch all section 45 RTA '88) but I have a problem... where the fuck do I put all this snow? I'm running out of places to dump it! I cleared the area in front of the car first today, made a heap about 6 foot high with it, then cleared off the car itself, another 2 foot on the pile... my yard is about 2 foot deep, path is similar, the road is so bad the cars are buried apart from a track in the centre of the street, which I found this evening that you can't actually leave to park up... I had to shovel yet more snow just so I could get the car outside our house again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 It's pretty dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists, given that the snow's stopped (around here), the sun got to it, and then the temperature dropped so it's less fluffy awwww snow and more sharp lumpy ice. If it lets go of your car at a decent speed it'll travel quite a way.But there's no specific offence, just comes under using a car in a dangerous condition. It is mentioned in the highway code about clearing snow from cars, along with clearing all the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexg Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I heard that Birmingham council had to order in Halal Salt so not to cause offence when gritting Muslim areas of the city. Also my neighbours friends brother heard about a bloke got arrested for not sweeping the snow off his car when a Muslim woman was allowed to make a small slit in the middle of the window. Then I hear that Argos have banned staff from making snowmen because they can only be made White!!! This is Britain, go away if you don't like it!!!!

Pillock Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Won't you have to add them as friends first? No. You can just message people without being friends, if their security settings allow. Since they can't even spell "security" (or even "setting") they've probably got it on default.My ex-wife used to whittle away the long evenings messaging me from fake accounts. Awww, the memories.

Alexg Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 This is my new status- I heard that Birmingham council had to ship in Halal Salt from Israel so not to cause offence when gritting Muslim areas of the city. This costs an extra £75 per metric acre! For god sake get out of England if you don't like it! the evidence so far suggests that my Facebook friends are idiots. One of my mates questioned if it was true, but I informed him that it is in tommorrows Guardian.
