My friend got threatened with it last summer, the officer said it was
"Drunk in charge of a pedal cycle and no lights"
It was a £30 on the spot fine reduced to £0 if he disappeared quickly! |

Hi,
I'm looking for a bluetooth hands free car kit, just wondered if anyone had one fitted and could recommend.
I want one thats fully wired in and goes through the audio system, ideally if I could find one with an ipod input that would be great.
Thanks |

Does the national speed limit apply to an "unadopted" road, and what is the definition of an unadopted road.
Does anyone know? Sorry to be vague, I have a theory about something and want to check i'm not barking up the wrong tree.
Thanks |

Bingo!
How far apart do these have to be?
(the road in question has none but just want to get my facts straight) |

I was in lane two overtaking stationary traffic in lane one which was queing to come off. Suddenly a vehicle... |

Thanks.
What would cause the police to suddenly become involved now though? They didn't attend the scene and he wasn't given a producer. Is it feasable that this was really a police officer demanding him to the station this instant? |
