Nemesis Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Apparently they now have the power to impose a fixed penalty for poor lane discipline...... How I laughed when I read this, I'd love to see this enforced...... I travel from Bromsgrove to Bradwell and return every week, the only time I see the plod is at the more serious events that seem to be caused by this sort of behavior, and to be honest it's mostly the plod from Stanstead Airport that seem to have any visible presence. Tell me then, did we the tax payers really stump up for the prats in London to come up with that little gem ? or will the next step to give the plastic plod aka highways agency, (you know the ones that close two thirds of a road so that a wheel can be changed) new powers to decide guilt??? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23713732 Nem..........

Nemesis Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 I've not been asleep, I knew that the measures had been announced a while back, I thought the news article today was to let us all know that it has come into force...... but hey ho.... has anyone any idea where we'd get the official figures for tickets issued since the change..... I'd lay a sizeable sum on less than 20 countrywide..... Nem............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Thought this had been in force for about a year now. I did notice that it has made absolutely no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John K Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 To fill my time whilst driving the length of the M6 in the middle lane at 56mph I was browsing the BBC website. I was so shocked to read this, I briefly swerved into the slow lane... I won't be making that mistake again any time soon..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
