Sorry, I forget that it is a site that you have to sign into.

He was fined £4,200, disqualified from driving for 30 months, which along with the 15 month suspended prison sentance he is being hammered compared with most drivers convicted pf the same offence.

He is subject to an internal disciplinary hearing as well which is where he will probably lose his job which also means that he will lose his pension as well which based on my Police pension is substantial not forgetting his lump sum which is many thousands of pounds.

I've always been a bit confused about that 'losing the pension' thing when people are dismissed from the police - surely they can't deprive someone of their own money THEY have paid into their pension?

They don't lose it, they just don't receive it until they reach age 65, which bearingin mnd that someone who joined at 18 can retire at 48.

Put it into persective, I retired at 43, (albeit on a medical pension) my lump sum was around £x amount and it was index linked from day one.

Thos guy will not get the lump sum, he will not have it index linked and he may have to wait several years before he actually starts to get his retirement pension

Following on from this, someone has got some explaining to do. Nothing a bit of Gaffa tape and T Cut won't put right though.
