OT: The things people do to avoid speeding tickets.

Bit ironic that she used a died in a car crash excuse to avoid being done
for exceeding the limit by 37% as though she accepted that people do die in
car crashes after all.

"
In mitigation, Catherine Richards said Askew had "been driving on and
off for many years without incident."
"

Mitigating circumstances is that she has been breaking the law for many
years.

The judge should have at least banned her for a while, and demanded a
retest (I know she has not had the first test).

Mmmm. It's a bit like swinging a day off work by saying your mum's
died. Tempting fate, rather.

"Judge Michael Burr said usually an immediate custodial sentence was
warranted but he said he saw "little purpose" in jailing her."

What about discouraging others from attempting to pervert the course
of justice?

I don't suppose a driving ban is an option for perverting the course
of justice.

Her sentence for speeding and driving without a licence, I suppose,
has already been dealt with separately.

Obviously misunderstood the advice from SafeSpeed:

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard suggested that on receiving the notice of intended prosecution
you could pick a recently deceased person mentioned in the local paper
and name them as the driver at the time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More, from the same pages on the SafeSpeed website-

There might be legal ways of owning multiple driving licences. You
could, for example, change you name informally, apply for a
provisional driving licence in the new name, pass the test in the new
name and then change your name back informally. There are a series of
illegal ways of owning multiple driving licences, including applying
for a duplicate licence for someone who has emigrated or died. In
these cases we are informed that you only need name, address and date
of birth to apply for a duplicate.

Register the vehicle in the name of a two year old child. We think
this is perfectly legal, and they will not prosecute the two year old.
Your can remain the owner, but be sure to inform the insurance
company.

Ideas please
If you have an idea for points avoidance please send it to us by
email. Tell us if you would like to be credited with the idea or not.
If you desire anonymity, please tell us so and we will delete all
copies of the email immediately.

These pages have now been removed. Mr Smith claims that there was
never anything wrong with the pages being on his site, as they were
'research'. But he removed them anyway, for some reason. Can't think
why.

I can't believe this stupid woman didn't get sent down.

Always better to use a grandparent or uncle as many of us have spares.
