He's claiming the car was on loan from Bentley and the letter arrived at Bentley a day late, thus removing himself from a possible perjury and setting a minion up for that fall.

Here's one that copped a fine and ban. Someone had thrown up in the car! What's a professional sportsman doing drinking, yet alone to such excess?

I've just come back from shopping, and whilst driving into town I saw one of the scariest things ever.
I was driving behind a car, and the driver of the car pulled across to the other side of the road. I thought she was pulling into a petrol station but she passed the petrol station and continued to drive on the wrong side of the road. This went on for about 200m, so I pulled alongside her, looked across, and she was looking down at the phone on her lap and typing on it. I couldn't believe my fucking eyes. She wasn't looking at the road at all. Then I noticed a unit and 40 foot trailer heading straight towards her, so I blew my horn but she still didn't take her eyes off the phone. I kept blowing my horn until she eventually looked across at me, and I pointed at the truck heading straight at her, at which point she swerved back across onto into my lane, narrowly missing the front of the truck and closely missing the front of my car, before leaving the road, climbing a grass bank and somehow managing to get back on the road, whilst missing a lamp post by mere inches, then carried on driving, like nothing had happened.
I can't believe anyone could be so fucking stupid and reckless.

Get her number plate? That's so bad I would be keen on reporting it. It sounds like it's only a matter of time before they seriously injure (or kill) themselves and/ or someone else.

I didn't get her number. I was just glad neither of us died.

Mazda drivers are a menace and should be avoided.
You did other road users a disservice by letting her live.

It's a shame they've sped this up really, as I think it'd be comical enough at normal speed. I love how the driver filming just keeps going like nothing out of the ordinary happened
Excellent. Hope it hurt.
For real. I had the choppy camera work and thundering bass going on in my head.
ETA. Not taking the piss. Phone use is fucking frightening

Because it's sped up and filmed on a potato, it's hard to tell, but they seem to have their brake lights on and not be slowing down.It's a shame they've sped this up really, as I think it'd be comical enough at normal speed.

New cameras, not just for speeding of for exceeding average speed, but also detects drivers who are eating, using phones and notcwearing seat belts!
New cameras on Gdynia Way - and they have extra powers

I didn't know how the 'average speed check' cameras worked, and now I do, which is a good thing. Thanks!

That says you can be done for smoking, the act of smoking is not prohibited though, only if it leads to careless or worse driving. Same would apply to popping a Fruit Pastel in your gob.

15 months, he went through the cycle box on purpose, how can it be careless?

If you can be done for smoking you should def be done for driving with a stinking cold, or having just had 2 hours sleep.

from memory "careless driving" is "standard of driving falls below what is expected" and "dangerous driving" is "standard of driving falls far below what is expected". I might not have that verbatim but it's roughly the wording of the law
Big issue here is that almost every jury/judge/magistrate will be a driver and you can bet lots of them drive into ASBs all the time, so how many of them see this driving as falling (far) below what is expected? None basically, hence charges of "dangerous driving" don't get put forward by the CPS as they see "careless driving" as a more realistic chance of successful prosecution. Laws need changing.
I mean just look at this case: Judge lashes out at airport drop-off fees as he releases road rage driver | Metro News driver drives into car park attendant, carrying them on the bonnet, because they don't want to pay £3 charge. Judge gives a suspended sentence because judge thinks £3 charge is outrageous. wtf?

From Ms Roman's family:
After Northcott's conviction, Ms Roman's family called for motorists to be more vigilant of cyclists, especially around cycle boxes at junctions.
"We feel Karla was let down by the driver of the coach when he disregarded the cycle box, which resulted in this fatal incident", they said.
"We would appeal to any drivers reading this to think about your actions and respect the cycle box."
She was let down.
Seems that we are very conditioned to give a very lenient outlook to drivers whose wilful negligence kills.

HGV drivers are only allowed to drive for so many hours without taking a break, I suspect coach drivers also. Although it's dangerous for car drivers, it's unenforceable, at least at the moment. It should be up to the car driver and common sense.

Unlike lorries, coaches can use the third lane on a motorway, after all their cargo is not as precious as a truck load of baked beans...

Same wit eating and pretty much everything else people do behind the wheel. The camera would have to prove undue care are attention. Not sure how it’ll manage that.

I liked that post, then thought, didn't they change that?
Looks like it: Q590: What types of vehicles are not allowed in the outside lane on the motorway?
