I have just heard, on the radio news, a story which shocked even me.
A young man (17, I think, but I might have that wrong - I wasn't paying
that much attention at the start of the story) was charged with
careless driving after being caught doing 90mph on the wrong side of a
20mph limit road.
He was fined £600 pounds and got a few points on his license... and
walked free.
What!? You ask?
Just so.
An important extra piece of information is that his father is Procurator
Fiscal. Not for much longer, I hope!
