Of course it was subterfuge..................deceit used in order to achieve one's goal.L Austin France wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 4:13 pmNo subterfuge!beejay wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 2:45 pmIf you are named as the driver you will not get any points so why the subterfuge?L Austin France wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 10:04 am Today she received a summons due to a speeding offence on April 2nd. Apparently her car was caught in a radar trap doing 86km/hr in a 80 limit. The 5 km allowable excess was applied giving the excess as 1 km/hr.
For this 1 km excess no licence points will be deducted but a sliding scale fine dependant when paid starting at €45 is due if paid by monday next.
Actually it was yours truly who was driving & Mme LAF has magnanimously decided not to denounce me as her licence remains 'clean'.
Still, first time for either of us in over 20 years living here so not too shabby.
Just couldn't be arsed to fill in & post off another form which would generate yet more forms which would have no effect on the outcome.Also due to the late arrival of this form there was only another two days to cough up the smaller fine before incurring a larger fine so not worth the risk of M. Le Bureaucrate deciding to charge us more.
Is that a problem for you?
You know what! There was no goal other than to get this fine dealt with & paid asap. Whoever was driving & no matter how much more paperwork & time was generated the result would be the same ie a BIG FAT ZERO.beejay wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 3:33 pmOf course it was subterfuge..................deceit used in order to achieve one's goal.L Austin France wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 4:13 pmNo subterfuge!

Why would it be a problem for me? You post, I read, I comment. Do you not expect replies?
Some have a dislike for people who display a disregard for the law and need to post it for amusement.
