Mood: Looking for a one way ticket to the 'Ring.
After speaking to a magistrate friend of mine the following questions were raised;
When this case came to court how many charges were brought against the individual.
If they only brought a dangerous driving charge against him, thinking they had no problems in getting a result and he got off on a technicality then so be it.
But normally they would bring a group of charges and still give out fines and bans even though they could not get him on a dangerous driving charge.
So as in all cases without knowing all the facts be careful, the initial concept of using it to get off with the odd mph over the limit may not be a good ploy.
I was stopped the other day, 'the man' following in a van says he was doing over 95 to catch me, the fact he was slightly speeding to catch me was not a discussion worth really having.
I fell back on what I had read in a bike magazine; I apologised, owned up to going a few miles (only a few) faster than the limit, ate a LOT of humble pie and was given a caution and told to be careful.
