    In other words, "fessing up early doors" is always the best and least costly option.

    That is a LIE (yet another one from you).

    A company cannot be banned from driving because one of its vehicles is
    alleged to have done 43mph in a 40 limit.

    You know it makes sense, drivers.

    Most people do know what makes sense for them. When they want your
    advice on the subject, you can be absolutely certain that they will turn
    up to your door and seek it, M'Lud.

    I remember one post by Mason in which he blamed in some way a person found guilty for ‘fessing up early doors’ and getting a reduced sentence because of that.

    Consistency trumped by expediency…
