rbrowning2 Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Don’t like to be a kill joy but if you are asking the question in the way you are then just may be you do not understand enough about the licences to be using them. Do some homework as would not want to see you get into trouble relying on them in your defence. to help you I would recommend you visit the BASC website read and understand your legal obligation in using the licences.

Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law, so probably best to understand the law you are relying on in your defence should the need arise before having cause to do so. And on the 15th February he seamed to take that onboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chap was only asking for help - not a sanctimonious lecture. At least he had the initiative to enquire - he gets my vote for that.

Fellside Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 I couldn’t agree less. The so called ‘advice’ was tainted with ‘oneupmanship’ and sneering condescension. Do you honestly think the original OP was hoping for a snotty reply? Hardly. Or...... is it just that some members here have, shall we say, a certain contradictory agenda?

My apologies if that is how my response came across, it was intended to alert the op that he should seek further advice before replying on a licence is clearly had little knowledge about. My response apparently has upset you more than the OP. Edited March 18, 2021 by rbrowning2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellside Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Not upset - just standing up for a sense of fair play. Anyway, decent of you to apologise rbrowning2. Have a pleasant evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
