Just been told that the government is trying to change the law on speeding tickets and some other motoring offences.
What they are trying to do is set things up so if you get a ticket and challenge it and win, you have to cover all the legal costs. Apparently having innocent people defend themselves is costing HMG too much money so they are trying to skewer us like this. I think their idea is that as it'll cost more than £60 to defend yourself, people will just cave in and pay up.
There is a petition up about this but it ends on the 9th November 2009 so sign it quick and pass this on to as many boards as you can.
The Pistonheads article and link to the petition can be found here:
