What people will do for 15 minutes of fame

I understand that there is a post-pub sport that involves removing your number plate and your girlfriends top and speeding past a speed camera with all on show some people haven’t heard of dogging or ram raiding Des

When will people realise that the ONLY people who respect law and order are respectable people? These idiots obviously don't give a toss and will probably have a whale of a time in a young offenders institution - if they get sent down that is!!!

Recently we had a pool car that went though a speed camera, the person driving wasn't identifiable as his hand was masking his face. What happens in cases like this?Does the company get fined and who gets the points?

Been a few cases like this - including Police forces!!! I know of quite a few people who have got away with it altogether because they grovelled a bit and said they would keep better records next time.....

As Gatso cameras photograph the rear of the vehicle someone should question why the driver was speeding in reverse whilst steering one handed.

The registered keeper is liable if the driver cannot be identified. No points, because the offense is a different one of failing to provide the identity of the driver. One defense which has worked is where two drivers were driving the vehicle on the day in question, and neither can remember who was behind the wheel when the camera went off. Additionally, Plod have six months to preosecute following identification of the driver, and have been known to lose paperwork in long protracted cases which exceded their attention span.

The Camera that took this particular picture photographed the front of the car (Lee-on-Solent one).

Our company has now issued every pool car with a log book.
