Surely they’re not going to fine you for a tail light?

I mean good for you checking your car is 100% every time, but no, nobody else does that.

They will fine you on occasion for that. Normally (if you're not an asshole) they'll tell you to get the thing fixed and let you go with a warning.

Here is a FOIA I found

Cross posting FOIA i found relating to Ofcom Vs 4chan and kiwi farms

Here's what's in the FOIA
1. Legal Costs
The first was a easy question asking the total expenditure incurred by Ofcom to date regarding the lawsuit filed by 4chan and Kiwi Farms in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
While Ofcom holds this information, it is being withheld under section 43(2) of the FOI Act.
This exemption applies because disclosure would likely prejudice the commercial interests of Ofcom or the legal service providers involved.
Ofcom determined that the public interest in maintaining its bargaining position for future legal services outweighs the interest in disclosing specific fee amounts.

2. Fine Statistics
The person requested a confirmation of the total daily penalties accrued against 4chan following the "Confirmation Decision" issued in October 2025.
  • Ofcom imposed a daily penalty of £100 starting from 14 October 2025
  • This penalty was capped at 60 calendar days to remain proportionate to the breach.
  • Following the completion of these 60 days, a maximum penalty of £6,000 has been imposed.
Here this goes into some loser details like internal briefing notes or summaries for senior management regarding jurisdictional challenges raised by U.S.-based platforms under the Online Safety Act 2023.
  • This information is exempt from disclosure under section 42 of the FOI Act
  • This section protects information subject to legal professional privilege.
  • Disclosure would prejudice Ofcom’s ability to obtain free and frank legal advice for ongoing or contemplated litigation.
4. Service of Process Policy
The final requested part of this FOIA was an, internal guidance regarding the procedure for serving statutory notices to U.S. entities, specifically concerning the U.S.-UK Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT).
Ofcom directed the information to its publicly available Online Safety Information Gathering Guidance, within the final link
Edit : Spelling mistake

@Null , may I please substitute the post advertising feature I won't be using with stronger consideration for my musical requests? I can't remember when my first $50 recurring payment is supposed to go through, but I hope there's enough good will to take my word for the moment. This coming Friday, let's kick off WW3 with a fun little jingle that doesn't sugarcoat the ordeal.

But why? Is it because you are afraid of the cops?
Genuine question.

Through extensive watching of police body cam videos, I have perceived that the cops will 100% use any excuse to pull someone over *if* they look sketchy, or it’s a vehicle/individual they’re actively looking. If there’s nothing wrong with the car it will be “following too close” or “failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign” or something where it’s their word against yours.

They're obviously a drug dealer.

I bought the pressure sensor gauges for my car 50,000 miles ago but don't feel the need to replace them because at 25 psi they go from "infinity" to "NaN" and let me know to fill it up with air. There are 4 different brands of headlights in my car. My brakes are floaty because they fell out awhile back and I never got around to draining the air I left in when I replaced them. When I change oil I drive the car on logs, and the retention spring is just twisted pizza box cardboard. Dominos. Didn't even order it. Took it from someone else's bin.

The check engine light has been on since it hit 120,000 miles. The last time I checked it was the catalytic converter, so I can't actually get it checked because they'll probably tell me I have to replace it. So I have a friend with the reader and I check when I go to his place. I haven't seen him in about 6 years.

When it rains the fuel injector sticks, You can engage in some foreplay with the pedal and that fixes it. The display got crushed by furniture. The windshield tanked a bottle last week. Barely cracked. If you turn left and hit like, 1.5 Gs the car loses power steering. I ran through some street paint crap and now it looks like I ran over a smurf. That's what I tell people when they ask. I stick to the bit. I'm pretty sure it melted the wheel caps. It's a cool pattern. I get my oil changed at the shop just for the thrill of denying all the service but the oil.

So the answer is yes, you are the only person doing that. And remember that every time you don't obliterate a family of 5 from the face of the earth when your ancient shit box fails catastrophically, an Indian does.



hopefully this keeps traffic down

I wake up 15 mins before I have to clock in. I pull out of my driveway and every time I hear a scrape, I know I have less than 5 hours on my front bumper. It's held on by 2 tabs and a screw.
The wheel well protectors are totally shot, one's missing. The rear rotor is warbling, even though [redacted] said they are fine. I drove without a brake light for almost a solid year and got it replaced when Advance went out of business and I got a set of lights for 75% off. Had the oil guys change it. When my low tire pressure comes on, I curse electronics and only fill it up when I know it's not the cold weather fucking with my tires.
I'm convinced I'm going to blow a head gasket in the next year with no evidence.

Although, at one point, I did have a '77 Vette and was driving in the middle of the night. The cops pulled me over and said they couldn't see my lights at all. Fair enough. Alternator issue. But the door panels missing, the speedometer cable stripped out, having to use the turn signal with the broken arm of the signal, the lights not having the vacuum pressure to raise and lower on their own, and the other door not opening without popping the latch with a screwdriver didn't register on their radar.
Your car does not have to be perfect, just legal (looking).

WW3 has been less than 5 minutes from kicking off for half a century now and I'm sick of hearing about it. You must choose the path of Chuddha.

I can't do that, it gives me too much anxiety. I'd have to gut the cat so I know when new stuff breaks.

I'm gonna have to gut the cat on my shit box escape soon, I'm intermittently getting that code and I dont like it.
