I can only see it making a difference in the situation when you were booked driving someone else's car.

An interesting point of view!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the infringement notice provide an opportunity to name the person driving the car?

All the same, I wish the guy luck; setting a precedent for other people ripped off by the Kodak Kops.

I think the fact that the infringement notice is termed a 'penalty notice' is the first problem... and it's downhill from there.

some lawyer trying to make a name for themselves.. but then again, if you don't try you don't win

the law is more about the letter of the law rather than the underlying principle nowadays... i read thru the page, the case has IMO a real chance of success based purely upon the legislation being worded incorrectly

svtang · 05-03-2003, 03:37

so, if by some outside chance the legal eagles win or whatever ....

the law is simply going to be changed ...

tough sh!t, but that is the way of things ......

if someone cops a fine, has lost thier licence, or ended up in goal, then thats the way it should be.

I have no pity for the serious offenderes, just the ones caught doing less than 5-10 ks over the limits!
