144mph speeding A19 drivers given suspended jail terms

Hey I didn't know you were legally qualified.

Funny though that when I got busted for speeding recently and was in court, my solicitor (an expert in this area of law) advised me to plead guilty and mitigate. I got off pretty lightly in the circumstances.

But what does he know, eh? Had I followed your legal advice, maybe I'd have got off completely

The council of a solicitor is now a prerequisite to understand the legal ramifications of breaking the law when speeding?

With such clients, who needs a money tree?

But then rally drivers dont have other people on the road to think about. Completely different.

Sure they do, they're standing with their cameras on the side of the road applauding.

Ah, so SS thinks a public road and a rally track are the same driving environment.

That explains a lot.

Should have been prosecuted and lost his job.

[eek]

Should have been prosecuted and lost his job.

Thinking about it driving down that road this morning I don't think Durham had the right to decide what to do. The speeding must have taken place in either West or North Yorkshire so surely that police force should be the one making the decision and Durham should have asked them to decide...
