Suppose that you knew a bloke, seems nice enough to you, freindly, outgoing sort of person. Not really a friend, more of an acquaintance, that you occasionally have an odd beer with. Then suppose that he suddenly disappears off the scene, so you ask the question, where is he? The answer you get is that he was done for drink/driving, banned for two years and fined ?500. Then imagine that just after this, you see the man getting out of a car as the driver, in a different car to the one he was caught in. A guess would suggest that as he is banned he can't be insured, and the car is probably not even registered to him. Then just imagine that you saw this person pull out in front of a guy on a bike, Luckily, there is no accident, but the guy on the bike uses his horn and flashes his lights. The banned driver sticks his fingers up to the rider out of the car window and the scene disappears in your rear view mirror.
Then just imagine that you may have been that rider and not so lucky.
If you knew all of this, what would you do?

Hard choice if he was a friend, BUT how would you feel if you shrugged and walked away, and next week he kills a woman and 6 month old baby in a drunken smash.

You have to shop him. It is the right thing to do, for his safety and others.

This says it all Aidey, the ball's in your court mate and, tough though it is, you have to do the right thing. There's no reason for him to think it was you who dobbed him in.

Turn him in....

maybe save a life (even his) and do him a favour - obviously too stupid to learn - do the right thing and sleep easy!

Several years ago a colleague was banned for speeding in his Mitsubishi Starrion, not only was this guy a colleague but so was his father, i spotted his car in the car park and when I saw him in work I asked him who brought him to work, he grinned and replied I drove myself, I informed him that if I saw him getting into the drivers side of his car I would shop him, he phoned his brother to pick him up.

This is perhaps a good example of why we NEED traffic cops on the road.

To many people are 'getting away' with things now while all the attention is on speed camera's.

Should you

Should you really need to ask...............who needs friends like that anyway, report it sooner rather than later. He won't need to know its you but your concience will know YOU did'nt act if something happens..
I've locked dozens of them up and feel no remorse for them, not one ounce.
I locked up a 68yr old gran who had her grandson in the passenger seat 2 yrs ago,, she was 3 times over the limit and she had a go at me for scaring the lad with the siren on the panda :dunno:
6 months after the same woman was locked up again for driving whilst disqualified,, thick cow made the local paper with her stupidity.

Report him!!!.
I hate people who drive (or even ride) without licenses/insurance.They are the scum of the earth,they dont care about other people and what their lazy/tightfistedness/selfish/arrogant attitudes cant cause to other people.Licences are a privilage not a human right.
I may go over the speed limit everynow and then :rolleyes: ,but I do so when safe and when I'm not ENDANGERING OTHER PEOPLE,or risking PHOOKING OTHER PEOPLES LIVES UP other than my own.I will not ride/drive when I've been drinking/smoking (herbal fags,its for my gammy leg officer),let alone without insurance/licence.
As other people have said,How would you feel if hit hit someone?,Someone you didn't know,someone you know,a member of this forum or even you!)

Reguardless of the rights and/or wrongs of his conviction, and his otherwise ability as a driver, the bottom line is that he is not insured, and from personal experience, if you think having an accident is bad, try it when the other guy isnt insured!!
