Unbelieveable response from the Scamera To55ers. Take it to court, they should let him off if he is telling the truth.

[mondeoman]

He go the ticket 6 weeks later???

Should've told em to shove it right up their proverbials, totally out of time.

Appeal and get it done that way.

They "really" don't want to help themselves with publicity, do they?

[boredpilot]

hmm if he got the letter 6 weeks later its either a company car or the t***s are out side the 14 day time limit

Mondeoman you beat me too it heheh

If I was Mr Giles on these facts, I would refuse the CO and go to Court.

There I would claim, because of the circumstances I was using the vehicle for ambulance purposes and thereby exempt from the limit.

Unless there is something not reported, I worry. Compassion and common sense seems to be disappearing in society.

Love it, give em enough rope and all that. What limited intelligence was in charge of these 'Partnerships' appears to have gone

He should opt for court. I believe one of the tests the CPS use is "is it in the public's interest to persue the case"

The response given is a standard scammers response, not from a human being. The would never persue this and in every example I've heard of would usually provide an escort.

They really are getting out of control Still, any adverse publicity for the scammers is good publicity.

as part of the anti natal classes they should supply velco strips for the number plates.........

As I know it, you can speed to get to hospital if the woman is in iminant delivery stage. Wouldn't get let off if she was in early labour.
Sounds like she was iminant if they can prove she delivered within minutes of arriving.

Plus, it's technically illegal for an untrained person to deliver a baby so it's catch 22!!

I think they should be lenient if he says he was driving carefully and aiming to save the lives of his wife and baby.

[mrs puggit]

Not wanting to get flamed, (I agree this is harsh etc) but do you really think he was driving carefully?

I ask you if you were with your significant other, screaming in pain, with the prospect of having to delivery a baby (sqeemish men can leave the room):

Can you honestly say you would be driving safely with due care & attention? Better still extra attention as you are aware you are driving faster than you should?

I'm sure one of our 'resident' Bib (Gone?) once said that there is an exemption for vehicles being used for Emergency Ambulance or Police matters.

And if the camera is the one I think it is then it is on a Dual Carriageway which is a lowered NSL and not really worthy of a 50 limit anyway.

I think you'll find that young DvD said it a little earlier in this very thread

Dual carriageway, very few houses, no footpath - the one I'm thinking of is at Markfield on the Leicester bound side partly hidden by trees and bushes?
On a Sunday evening that road would be totally dead.

Indeed a Revenue earner if ever there was one.

Ooops need to read all the previous replies before I answer, but I knew I'd heard it somewhere

spokesman said:

Under such circumstances, we have the use of the emergency services.

So are they saying its quicker to wait 30 minutes then go to hospital in a big, slow ambulance?

They seem remarkably keen to prosecute this guy

...unable to overlook the matter.

What total tards.

There is!
Plead not guilty and bring the legislation to the attention of the court!
