I struggled to get past the legal genius who understands the law far better than all the lawyers and judges in the country consistently using "there" instead of "their".

Haven't read the Magna Carta recently, but I'm going to take a leap and say that it does not contain a definition of "driver" for the purposes of s. 172 RTA 1988, s. 89 RTRA 1984, or at all.

Many of the whackos like to rely on Black's legal dictionary. By selecting the correct out of date version they can find "driver" defined as someone "employed" in driving. Apart from the fact that a dictionary has no authority, and it's a US dictionary anyway, the laughable thing is they don't notice the definition of "employed" in the same book.

But shirley if it's in Blacks Legal Dictionary, it must be "black letter law"?

If you are referring to what the French call "capote Anglaise", that is something that might have prevented the argument.

Not motoring, but definitely FoTL:

The Freeman in question has found himself not so free for the next few months, getting a 6 month sentence.

Yes I did note the odd typo or two.

But I had to admire him for the way he addressed “points of law” raised by someone who was clearly crackers, as if they were raised by an eminent KC.

Fun one here:

Hodder v Peacekeepers Foundation [2026] EWCC 37 (10 April 2026)

A visitor to a FoTL style website took them up on their 'No Obligation Challenge' to disprove their beliefs (with a prize apparently on offer), then sued when they failed to pay up.

"The Defendant's views are, of course, complete legal nonsense; this judgement will not be a recitation of the reasons why."
