I think morally the only thing you can do is confront the person and explain to them that they are behaving irresponsibly and should rectify the situation... if they refuse to then I would say it is your responsibility to speak up, or at least threaten to.

Answer 3

A slap on the wrist and a £9.50 holiday from the Sun. The courts are too lenient on offenders. Take them into the yard and execute them.

6-8 penalty points; and

Discretionary disqualification; and

£5000 fine.

And yes, I would inform on them, my family members

could be victims if he/she hit any of them.

Answer 7

if you get caught without insurance, you looking at points on your lisence possibly banned

if you hit and kill someone then a prison sentence.

Answer 8

This question should not even have been asked, but here is your answer anyway.

New law, kill one = 7 years. kill 2 = 14 years and so on.

The courts will really hurt you on this one if you do kill anyone.

If you get caught on a routine stop.

They will take your car away and crush it, very good fine, and you will be charged with, everything they can throw at you.

Oh yeh forgot to mention

dont be so d**n stupid.

GET IT INSURED, IT COULD BE YOUR RELATION THAT SOMEONE LIKE YOU KILLS.

THE SAME HAPPENED TO ME.
