The anti-ulez group on Bookface provides a breeding ground for
the FOTL lot. Lads of people being given stupid advice having
received copious quantities of ulez penalty charges, one
contributor reckons he's got over 300 of them!!

That's where the value of sites and forums like this one is
demonstrated.
There are plenty of rational and sensible folks who might oppose
ULEZ for all sorts of reasonable reasons and join those Facebook
groups. Conversely, there are a small minority of cranks who
oppose ULEZ because they think it's part of some global
conspiracy to implant microchips in our brains and stop us
finding out the earth is flat, or some other such nonsense.
Unfortunately, when someone seeking genuine advice stumbles
across those groups, they often end up being advised by those
least qualified to provide it.

There was another of those numpties on there again today.
someone got a s172 over a speeding ticket. FotL says ignore it,
it's motoring not a crime. I pointed out the bleedin' obvious
that the Road Traffic Act is indeed criminal law and to ignore
is likely to cost the errant RK £1000 and 6 points and victim
support. Then the usual crap about there's no victim (which I
think most of us agree with, it's a tax on crime) etc. and was
laughed out. Let them find out the expensive way.
But a couple of others from that group have taken advice and my
have taken advantage of the advice given freely on here.

The global conspiracy one is an interesting point, especially
when they suggest that anyone who argues the Earth is round has
been bought.
I once saw a scientist complain that they'd spent years
debunking the flat Earth society but they'd never received any
of their payments from the global conspiracy, and asking where
they could complain about the outstanding payments ;D

I struggled to get past the legal genius who understands the law
far better than all the lawyers and judges in the country
consistently using "there" instead of "their".
Haven't read the Magna Carta recently, but I'm going to take a
leap and say that it does not contain a definition of "driver"
for the purposes of s. 172 RTA 1988, s. 89 RTRA 1984, or at all.

Many of the whackos like to rely on Black's legal dictionary. By
selecting the correct out of date version they can find "driver"
defined as someone "employed" in driving. Apart from the fact
that a dictionary has no authority, and it's a US dictionary
anyway, the laughable thing is they don't notice the definition
of "employed" in the same book.

But shirley if it's in Blacks Legal Dictionary, it must be
"black letter law"?
