The police would stop, if they spot an infringement, you're possibly doing something wrong, acting suspicious or they just feel like it .........

But before they stop you, they would have already ran a check on your vehicle....... This check would tell them...

- Details of registered keeper
- Insurance status
- MOT/RFL status
- Status of vehicle

If vehicle is registered/insured to a lady, currently driven by a male....... And the insurance does not show a male second driver........

You're guaranteed a 🔵 🚨 ...........🤣

Good evening all.
Please I am in the process of filling my visa application and I am at the point where they are asking if we have ever worked in the military or paramilitary.
Should I say yes nd write my job specification or should I just say no.
Please note that I worked in the paramilitary till 2020. I am not sure if they will ask for resignation letter or anything official.

Hmmmn. More questions is needed if you decide to write yes and while u write no , it doesn't make ur application looks less attractive aswell . So, Pick ur choice as working in a military doesn't imecen add any value to your application. You never hear say them dey deny a whole commissioner of police visa abi? 🤣 🤣

Thank you.

The birth certificate was issued two month after birth. I think the mistake here is , which’ @advanceDNA pointed out. A photocopy was submitted instead of a scanned copy. I attached the copy that was submitted snd the letter sent.

Now I want to know if a scanned copy should be submitted alone.

Yeah. I just checked mine now. The top left side logo of my child npc which was uploaded for ukvi was Green which points to the fact that it was original that was uploaded. And this time. Rescan the colored copy and also include the hospital birth cert that ure given . I believe those two details will help sort out ur case. And goodnews follow by God grace.

Use camscanner app to scan all your documents . It's really great. And better than those bizness center scanner sef .

Lol sorry!

You know what? There is NPC on the birth certificate he got from the local government. That’s why I said NPC birth certificate.

I now understand what u are experiencing. It always afrect those who get a npc cert that is not really issued at the exact day of birth or after few months. Ukvi always question such as to the reason why such a child was born in January and u got an npc cert of maybe November or some years lag. They need you to prove more evidence that truly the cild was yours. I used same for my baby aswell and no nsf email cos the npc cert was issued the same month she was given birth to. And my wife sef, nah court affidavit she submitted for a her birth cert. And no nsf mail.

Get the National Express West Midlands 4 weeks tickets (Adult) for £55 and you would have unlimited travel using National Express buses across towns and cities it covers like Birmingham, Coventry etc.

During my student days when I paid £40 for the 4 weeks tickets, on free days I will just hop into any NX bus and e go carry me go where I no know as I was just sightseeing and would always get a NX bus that would take me back to my home.

Get the ticket, so you can move around effortlessly at little cost.

This is it. Thanks a bunch bro. Appreciated sir.

You must have an Oyster card. Its like the size of a bank card, you can purchase it at a train, bus station or any local shop that has the Oyster card sign at £5. You then top up in any of these locations.

The Oyster card works ONLY in the city of London. A bus ride from one location to another costs £1.65 (that lasts for 1hr) after this time you will be charged another £1.65. If you you are charged for the third time (£1.65). It automatically turns into A DAY PASS, it won't charge you again. That means £4.95/Day

You can as well purchase a week pass £23.75. You can enter bus for a week from any location to another any time 24hrs.

For train, there are 6 zones in London (1-6). Depending on the zones you'll like to travel within and its from as low as £27.91 (2-3 weekly) to over £270 (1-6 monthly). There tickets issued in the train stations for either one way journey, a day pass too.

For outside London it's a bit similar but more expensive

Good luck in your calculations

Okay boss. My location is Birmingham though and work place is also Birmingham. But uno the distant by coach is about 56minutes from my workplace to my possible residential address. Reason why I wan dey sure if the price u highlighted above is real as I would be okay with such price on a weekly basis for t fare.

Transport costs will depend on where you are going. If you frequent a particular location in the city, say for work, it might be better to pay for the weekly or monthly ticket. Will save you some money. Or if you have to make several journeys to and fro a particular location just for a day, you can buy a 24hr ticket. Otherwise, you can pay as you enter each bus. Also consider whether you will board 2 different buses to get to work, instead of paying twice each day, your weekly or monthly ticket covers this. Let's do the maths: if for instance, you spend 6 quids each day on bus, and you work for 4 days a week, that's 24 pounds; the weekly ticket might be 20 pounds. So you are saving 4 pounds a week.

For long distant journeys, trains are faster but more expensive. Download coach apps, you can get cheaper prices online than you will get at the office.

Okay. Thanks a bunch. But from that picture I uploaded. Is that coach or train ma. And yes. To and fro from work to house . Need to know how much it will cost on a daily basis .
