looks like its going to trial
they booked loads of peeps over a month, all the others have plea bargained and been dropped to due care... will and his mate have pleaded not guilty, as they dont agree with the police statements...
he's been to court a few times but they keep adjurning and passing the case up the food chain...
does this mean i need to buy him some soap on a rope

Looking for people to book for 'dangerous driving' rather than preventing burglaries and catching drug dealers.
To be fair to plod, this was a grass car park where there had been a lot of max muppets, doing donuts ect and spinning wheels which was tearing up the grass.
Plod had staked out the car park to catch peeps.
will and his mate drove in to the cp to look for mates, they wernt there so will flicked the car round and went to leave, at which point undercover matey nicks them...
It does seem like a waste of everyones time, as im sure a good ticking off and a cortion would have stopped them.. but oh no an example has to be made by the look of it ....
The definition of "dangerous driving" is:
(a) where the standard of driving falls far below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver, and
(b) it would be obvious to a competent and careful driver that driving in that way would be dangerous.
"Dangerous" means danger either of injury to any person or of serious damage to property.

Shirley dangerous has to be on a public road?
Or do car parks fall under private property where you can feasibly expect the public to be ruling?
Either way what was a cop car doing hiding in a car park?
Anywhere that the public have access to, including car parks, industrial estates etc, have the same rules as any other road.

'ang on, if it goes to jury, it has to be majority yes? so a better chance of getting off?
yes jurry normaly go for careless as it sounds better and dont really get the diference bettween that and dangerous.
so it offten gos well with a jury.
so normaly they dont like sending it for trial at crown the magistrats give a guilty then refer to to crow foe sentance.
just the littel games they play.
hertsbiker said:
...so what percentage of the jury for a conviction / let off ?
interesting stuff mate.
no idear but if a defendant is up for dangerous.
the defence will all ways try to swing a due care and atention from the jurry
as for persentages dident any one tell you a day in court is russan rullet never the same result twice.

I take it from the general spelling and grammar in this thread that you are the more literate one?
Perhaps it could be argued that your friend is only semi-literate and therefore couldn't read the highway code and to press charges would be discriminatory??
