| I think that offering SACs to people who are a few miles over the limit is a tacit admition that they were not causing harm and don't deserve a punishment.

Let's skip the fact that the driver should be concentrating on the road ahead and not on each and every parked up vehicle, especially those on bridges: Yes these brightly coloured vans are very... |
