I know what you mean Kim, yes it can be considered a bit harsh and I think getting points for it are a touch harsh myself.

However, there is two ways to look at it imho:

1. People who just get a £60 fine and no points or even just a warning, would, 9 times out of 10, just put the tints back on later down the line as they would feel they have gotten away with the crime.

2. It is a law of the land unfortunatly, and if we brake the law and get caught doing it, we should all just accept the consequneces, as Scooby said earlier regarding his choices in life. If the plod went around ignoring the law and giving out lighter penalities, who would take any notice of either the plod of the law.

I suppose at the end of the day, giving points for such crimes as this is the best way to prevent otherwise totally law abiding drivers from attempting to break the law in the future with illegal modifications. It will also help them to be more careful about which mods are legal etc...

The points wont last forever and I think its all just about fair, the punishment does fit the crime overall.

ye same ere kim, ive only bin pulled off for the drinking thing aswell. they were k, apart from that, i aint bin pulled off for anything else (touch wood), ye feel sorry for you matty, but it wasnt like u didnt know u werent allowed them, surely u were expecting someone to pull u over soon or later. but i do think 3 points and a fine is a bit tight. i just thought u wud off just got the fine. which aint too bad. Have you told u insuarance company??? some insurance company tell u to tell them, after 3 point declair them. anyway feel tight on ya xxkatexx

You should inform your insurance company of absolutely any incident that happens to you or your car anyway. I was told that (after my accident which the other party admitted all liability straight away) by my uncle who served in the plod for 27 years, the last 12 years of which he was a traffic sergant.

He aint anymore tease Although I will admit my family have been in the plod for 3 generations, I dont really let this bias my opinion's. I just think that the punishment was fair as it is a law of the land. I do agree its a bit harsh for such a small crime, but I don't make the laws and neither do the plod, its actually the Labour government who have gotten tough on road laws, especially laws regarding to modifications.

I no wot ur sayin matty, it was like wen i was in spain on me work experience. We met this lad that came on the work ex from anuva wiral met an we was always jokin around wiv him an he neva took us seriously an once he pissed us off n we sed to him were gonna throw him in the pool but were gonna make him take his fone n wallet out so it doesnt dammage an he fort we was messin so one day we w8ted so the teachers were out of sight an we did it haha raftl

It sounds mean but it was funni at least he new we wernt messin then. Its like wot matty is sayin if police give light punishments such as a warning people dont take them seriously.
