Was out for dinner last night and found myself seated beside a person with whom I had previously respected due to his successful business career, no-nonsense approach to life, and his not inconsequential wealth.

He’s also previously been a Top Bloke and one who’s opinion I might be inclined to seek in matters ‘current’. Generally speaking he’s on the ball and ‘aware’.

He knows of my interest in cars and the conversation goes something like this...

‘Do you know that if you receive a notice through the post following a speed camera flash, asking for the identity of the driver, and you fill it in, return it, admitting you were the driver but don’t sign it, you won’t get ‘done’?

Huh?

‘Yes, you’ll get a reminder asking that you sign the form; don’t, send it back unsigned.’ ‘You’ll be threatened with prosecution but as the document is unsigned it can’t be used in court, but you have complied with the law.’ (I could be wrong in memory of his actual words but hopefully you’ll take my point.)

Go for it...

This was circulating a few months ago - whcih was curious as it's from 2002/3. Prior to Mawdsley/Yorke, and Francis (2004)

Thanks AGT, a fair bit of going on in that thread. Actually, I don't know how I missed it first time round.
