Sorry our replies crossed in the post :-) I’m just pointing out that there are a number of occupations and activities that require you to show good character when applying, it’s the important ones that require you to openly disclose your past. Anyway enough .. no point dwelling on it.

He couldn’t lay bricks on some jobs then :-) Actually he would almost certainly get clearance even with a record if he disclosed it. It even says that no offence is considered spent on the forms. In fact I think it’s the same with a FAC although I can’t remember if it specifically mentions...

A mistake made many years ago doesn’t automatically preclude you from certain occupations or activities but a failure to disclose anything, even a minor motoring offence, let alone a custodial automatically will. Anyway it’s most likely not going to be an issue to him anyway.

For some purposes an offence is never spent

Somebody somewhere will or already has made a judgement call on whether it’s in the public interest and I suspect it will all disappear into the noise now. However on the basis that I was completely wrong in my guess about what was going to happen, that could be completely wrong :-)

They can be recorded if another “crime” occurs at the same time. Had he been found guilty of the more serious issue of causing death then the other offences would have been recorded on his criminal record. If he ever had reason to disclose convictions he would have needed to disclose...

They heard the evidence and they saw his demeanour in court which is more than I did! On that basis who am I to question their decision. Whilst I’m surprised at the outcome, that’s the basis of our justice system.

I wonder how accurately the darlings in the press have accounted for his lack of remorse and attitude. (edit) the jury actually saw his conduct, I certainly havent.. As previously we only know part of the story, his fleeing the scene was reported as damning, when frightened to death having just...

Blimey, I didn’t expect that

Probably need to burn that stuff to stop it re seeding.

I’ve never really been that interested in gardening, although my rhubarb is pretty much ready for the first harvest of the year. One of my neighbours keeps horses and a good dose of manure top feeding brings it on a treat in spring.

I have a number of hobbies and pastimes, for some reason most of them sit on the edge of what people consider normal. Not that I care about that :-) I’m part of a number of online forums and there is one thing common to all of them. Pretty much everyone hates everyone from another group...

Doh! you are completely ruining the car v cyclist argument by applying common sense ;-)

Okay if that’s the case it makes sense, I’m trying to avoid something that runs in the wet and mud really so anything running on the rim is only going to be squeezing the rim a bit more for less handle effort, so probably won’t reduce the wear on the blocks caused by the grinding paste effect :-)

In my experience Infant mortality failure also includes the customer expectation versus reality alignment period.

Can you narrow that down a little bit for me please as Google is letting me down. I’ve got disc mounts at the front but interested in what improvements I can make at the back as well, just curiosity really.

When I used to time trial I rarely used a helmet and I’m still here despite some big falls .. but I do use on e now, for a number of reasons. These days regardless of my own views I try to be seen to be using common sense and what most would consider to be the right protective equipment. I...

On some roads, pedestrians are not permitted to be in the carriageway, that has been successfully used as mitigation when a case has come to court, it has also been judged not in the public interest to prosecute in circumstances as above. Now In this current case it is perfectly reasonable to...

I still travel to England on a weekly basis so I could always do a booze cruise :-)

Thank you for taking the time to reply, there is nothing you wrote that I disagree with and it aligns with my driver training. Where we disagree fundamentally is that you state that had he been as safety conscious as you, then “nothing” would’ve happened, I don’t know what might have happened...
