If the lorry was a big'un then it would have been legally restricted to
40mph on a single carriageway road anyway. Surely you're not suggesting
that the driver of an HGV might have been speeding ;-)

Indeed. From a representative of the self-styled "party of law and
order" the whining is particularly amusing.

No doubt he takes a similar view of the excuses made by other
criminals.

I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.

Might not get disqualified (yet) - This from uk.legal.moderated


Subject: Dangerous Driving Query

<snip>

The driver is already on 12 points for a number of speeding offences and
has already used the "exceptional circumstances" (disabled dependant
relative) defence to avoid disqualification.

The driver was involved in an accident about which they cannot say what
happened other than that they "suddenly became aware of lights coming
towards them". An independant witness (driving behind the charged
driver) says that the charged driver was driving on the wrong side of
the road. The charged driver is completely familiar with the layout of
the road on which the accident occurred.
