Section 172

[LondonManc]

What utter tulip.

So, lets say all Royal Mail vehicles, the registered keeper of each of them will probably be the CEO of Royal Mail or some such, are all the posties expected to ask his authorization to use the vehicle each time they use it? Of course not. But for a company they should have systems in place where a driver can be identified.

Are you seriously suggesting that all families should keep a log of every time a 'pool car' (which is effectively what it is) is used, right down to:

- Driver A drove from home to Tesco. Arrived 09:30
- Driver B drove from Tesco (Dep 10:30) to McDonalds. (Arr 10:50)
- Driver A drove from McDonalds (Dep 11:30) to Home (Arr 12:00)

Well done on completely failing to grasp how company/pool cars work. It is the company's responsibility to keep a log of who drives which vehicle.

straight back to you.

Right now I'm thinking there are two options:

a) Email the rozzers explaining we genuinely don't know who was driving, but show diligence by demonstrating how we've looked for evidence that would identify the driver.
b) One of us just take the hit, play the system and get to sit in a SAC for a few hours.


I normally fight any tulip like this so naturally lean towards (a), but that could end up the keeper hauled up before some court to get slapped with 6 points and £1k fine. So am thinking just doing (b) but that would really, really piss me off as I know that's exactly what they want you to do.

As I said earlier, did neither of you notice the speed camera flash?

Wasn't that the day it was stolen and on your way to the police station to report it, you found it abandoned in a side road and didn't bother reporting it so as to not waste police time?

Sex Defense Used in Manslaughter Case (washingtonpost.com)

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. - A woman charged with causing a fatal car crash in 1999 says that she couldn't have been behind the wheel because she was performing a sex act on the driver at the time.

Not all speed cameras flash.

Not all speed cameras flash.

With the two way facing ones they can flash in the opposite direction to the way the vehicle is moving, so the car driver gets an unexpected letter in the post.

I have "fun" watching the speed cameras near me when I'm on two feet to see how not to get caught.

Doesn't that involve an old tyre & a gallon of petrol?

Maybe she's from Essex?
