Got a section 59 on friday and on saturday we were pulled over and they took the car off me 
Why the fack do they need to take our cars off us, he also said that next time it is taken i will not be given it back! i mean who are they to just take it off you completely, what badgers. surley they should have points etc put on you licence instead of taking alot of money off you and it stays with the driver and car!
Some times the rozzers are just plain wankers.
Rant over.

Aaaah they're a needless wait of time, I had one many moons ago for 'excessive acceleration' - amounted to nothing.
If you re-offend then perhaps things may become difficult.

So you were being a cock then.
And you probably deserved it?
And wtf does engine size have to do with it. Just because its got a 1.8 doesn't mean you have to drive it like a nob?

Think you've just been Mobby'd.
TBH no one is saying they dont drive over the limit or sensibly everywhere...but then again we arent the ones at risk of having our cars impounded.

i dont understand why you made this thread tbh?,
either you want to brag about having your car taken away from you or your looking for advice on how to contest the offence? im thinking its the latter

Just a rant tbh, them taking it away and you having to buy it back is understandable but taking it away to be sold / crushed is wrong. im on my last chance so i cant really drive the way i used to.
