In life you and I move around at the fastest speed we can without having collisions. It is something we learn at around 5 years old. The Ludites think we cannot judge the speed to take a bend or junction unless we have a lollipop or triangular sign to tell us the exact speed (and now roundabout lane... |

I have identified a proper use for ANPR, or to be fair, facial recognition... Problem 1: our cat brings in live rodents to our house Problem 2: Other cats enter our house eating our cats food making our cat insecure. Our cat then feels to get in our good books it should bring home more live rodents.... |

His driving may not have been "safe" however I do not believe it was unsafe enough to meet the legal defination of dangerous driving or careless driving. In the aspect of making a police stop, which he claims he was doing. there was a risk element. However the risk of collision was higher ... |

This duel carriageway suffers from long hills and a queue waiting to overtake. The driver may have been guilty of leaving a 3 second gap in that queue. there is a section of 13+ miles without any houses with good visability. comments about speed are only relitive to traffic conditions. The road has ... |

It seams a bit extreme two police officers from the same station giving counter statements in court. If I were there commander I would have wrapped this incident up and giving them a rolliking they would never forget and split them up. The defendants boss must hate him?

The "fine" was a private parking penalty which probobly is un enforceable in law. however your chances of getting the cash back from them is next to zero without court intervention. You probbly ought to pay your manager the £50 on morral grounds. |
