Have you seen the news? Port Talbot Police are after prosecuting over 20 motorists who were breaking the speed limit. As we all know speeding is the most dangerous and hideous crime possible. Forget about rape, murder, violence etc, they are nothing compared with the revenue.....I mean tragedy associated with speeders.

 

And do you know who these evil speedsters were?.............. All of the competitors at the British round of the World Rally Championships!

 

Do the asshole police forces in this country ENJOY making us a laughing stock to the rest of the fuggin world? JEEZUS!!:mad:

Well there is some good news for speeders:

A speeding conviction against soccer star Dwight Yorke has been overturned by the High Court.

On Thursday judges sitting in London, ruled the case against the Blackburn Rover striker had been "fatally flawed".

 

Yorke had told the court he should be acquitted because a police form used as evidence did not have his signature on it.

 

The case will have implications for drivers in the UK because of the increase in the use of speed camera evidence in court.

 

The 31-year-old was convicted by magistrates in Manchester of driving his Porsche 911 at 61mph in Princess Road, Withington, Manchester, in May 2001.

 

However, Mr Justice Owen said because there was no signature on the form to prove the identity of Yorke as the driver the conviction should be set aside.

 

Lawyers for Yorke and Michael Mawdesley, another motorist also convicted of speeding, argued in the High Court that magistrates were wrong to accept the unsigned forms as admissible evidence that they were the guilty drivers.

 

:D

 

So fill out your forms and post them back with no signature! :D
