Uninsured Drivers

ID "cards" will be biometric, they will be very good at stopping this very problem.

B-locks. The draft law gives 14 days to produce the ID card when asked by the Police. Non official residents (and we know who they are) will not need them, and do you really think the biometric tests will be done every time there is an identity query? The eyeball scan does not work with 25% of the population and the finger print recognition fails around 10% of time. Are you expecting to work on the ID Card project or something

Why not sue ? Does this cost if he's guilty ? Isn't he supposed to pay costs of he loses, which obviously he will.

Yes: a mobile finger print scanners in the field everywhere - their purpose is to:

1) If card is carried with the person: scan finger and send (wirelessly in encrypted fashion) it to central database with hashcode stored in card - database returns either MATCH (that finger is indeed associated with given card) or ARREST

2) If card is not present: scan finger and send (wirelessly in encrypted fashion) it to central database: database returns either CLEAR (such person is registered in database and not wanted for offences) or ARREST.

3) Same as above but database may be used for monetary transactions like debit card, this will be the only legal way to pay so that IR has got full history (available without any need for court order), cash is outlawed.

And of course you will need to register details of your ID Card in order to register on forums etc.

Bloody hell AtW. Why not just go the whole hog and implant everyone with a chip and introduce a curfew so that they're not driving at night.

Breaking driving ban is a serious offence that will lead to prison sentense.

This is clearly wrong - I don't understand why CPS did not appeal to take it to higher courts because its way too lenient - he should have been jailed for many years even if he was insured and allowed to drive.
