Just wave bye bye to your licence........ You know say we have unmarked police vehicles, they would race with you, gather evidence and prosecute you ........ cheesy

I am familiar with umarked cop cars, they are always tinted with two passengers and they use cars which are 4 years or less.

Nah! UK Gov stopped that since March 18 and I expect all airlines to have stopped asking for it by now.

Check if the original COS your employee gave you covers your dependent. If it does you can still use that one.
If not, I think you can have the money in either of your accounts. Lump sum isn’t a problem if statement is printed after 28 days.
All the info you need is here.

Bad belle

I am still with the same insurance.

Now I know there threshold is 100mph so I set my speed limiter appropriately.

Can't wait to get my 6.3 ltr AMG cheesy
Bro 100mph is Automatic ban, tolerance is 10mph above speed limit once U go to 11mph you get a speeding notice so on motor way its 70mph-80 max

Follow the UKBA guideline and have the funds in your account since you are the "sponsor". No need moving money to your spouse's account as long as you have the required funds. If it were me, I'd add a bit extra just to be safe.

No. I have a full Uk license.

Great, do you hold an international license? I believe there’s some discount that comes with having the box tho.

solo riders no get speed measuring equipment. they are mostly fitted in vans/suvs/estates.

the fixed ones must are dummies + we have waze.

NB

its not that i am doing 107 up and down the motorway. my normal resting speed on CC is 75/80. i push 90 if occassionally.

on the captured day above boys who where unfamiliar with my driving history (in naija car no they pass me or my siblings, not due to dangerous driving oh, we just fast resting speed na 160. my top speed was 190-200. good ol days) were egging me on, so i gave them a taste so they can forever keep mute.

Can I keep using it even though I'm not into any business or is it possible for me to change it to a saving accounts?

Please help my government o before I start depositing money into it

the regular operating account is called a current account here in the UK. No charges like back home in Nigeria

It’s not compulsory to apply for graduate visa with you dependents na Abi? As long as they apply for theirs before their current visa expires. Nothing on this on gov.uk. I like to believe that’s the case. Anyone thinks differently Or has experience/knowledge?
