Just read this, makes u realise that the police arnt even trying to hide that they are doing it for the money now. And how does obstructing an officer warrant a driving conviction????

this somes it up i think

I have been convicted of breaking the law because I was trying to stop others from doing so. It is totally unjust.

read elsewhere its more than a chav with no mot/tax/insurance that did a hit n run and killen a pedestrian,what are signs that warn of fixed camers for then?he must have had a crappy lawyer

Hope someone pays the fine for the old boy. He must have saved several people alot of dosh.

Thats what I was trying to figure out, why the f**k was he banned.
Years ago people used to warn others that they were approaching a speed trap by flashing thier lights miserable bastards dont anymore,they still do in France tho which tells you lots about the average brits mentallity.
Steps off soap box.
Cheers,

i always flash my lights to warn people

if im challenged I would say that someone had a bird stuck in their grille or summat


best thing is to say nothing to the police in interview - even with the caution. I did talk when I got cammed when i wouldnt admit it was me and it was only my own words that got me - they would have nowt if id have refused to talk against the caution

Can somebody open a temporary account?
I'm willing to donate 2£.
If all of the regular visitors do the same it will at least make the burden a bit lighter for this Samaritan.
Perhaps this forum can make it to the newspapers!

Hehe, check out the threads on Pistonheads regarding this article, people are offering tenners left right and centre.

Kingr

there is a solicitor advertises his services on the site,pity the old boy didnt know about him

OK, i will go to the Pistonheads site.

this is diriculous, what is the reason for speed traps=> to reduce speeds is accident blackspots

what was the old boy doing=>reducing speed in an accident blackspot, and probably with more sucess than the coppers

the only difference is the police didn't get paid for it, i have often thought about doing what the old boy did guess i won't now

it just goes to say that the police are no longer doing it for the safety of the public (which was the main arguement when they first started putting cameras all over the countryside) and now they are doing ti to generate more income to fund more cameras
Ba**ards

good luck to the old guy!
