| I think I've mislead you. I think it only applies to the first part of the vehicle that crosses the line irrespective of what that part is. Otherwise HGVs with long trailers would be in very deep trouble. That's what I was thinking. Ta. There's also normally a ~2 second delay after red before the c... |

Point taken Dave:
Todays news is that his excuse for the offence was he "wanted to get his girlfriend 'home to bed' so she wouldn't be late for work next morning"   (she 'was' a PC too)
He's been 'banned from driving for two months and fined £265'

He may have been "Doing something in his own time that he does for a living anyway - practicing driving fast very safely" but does that make it acceptable ? Certainly it proves that it IS quite s... |
