Just had this forwarded to me. Could it be right or is it just a bit of a wind-up?


A NORTH Wales driver was unaware last night he had escaped a motoring ban, after a legal loophole was discovered by a court clerk. Police fear it could open the floodgates to thousands of motorists across the UK, caught by speed cameras and laser guns, also escaping driving bans.
The loophole involves a form sent by police to the registered owner of a car caught on a speed camera. The form asks who the driver was at the time.
It is an offence not to fill in the form and name the driver - but significantly there is no requirement to sign it.
However, for it to be used as evidence in court, the form has to be signed, otherwise a court cannot take any notice of it.

RB5 286 posted this on the 4th and although the thread seems to have died a death, it's also now appeared on the TV news.

Sadly, the home office are looking into closing it.
