"Police cannot be trusted to hand out summary justice and will act as “judge and jury” if given powers to issue more on-the-spot fines, magistrates have warned."

"MPs expressed surprise that magistrates would have accused police of being untrustworthy. "

Careless driving covers a wide range of behaviour from minor inattention to driving that is only just below the level of dangerous.


What would be dangerous? Texting, cell phone talking, just under the legal limit of DUI?

Don't trust police over £60 on-the-spot driving fines, magistrates warn | Mail Online

The Mail is now saying that police will issue on the spot fines to innocent drivers.

I think it really comes to some-thing when even the Magistrates don't trust the British Police. We already know that Judges don't trust them in the slightest.

Issuing on the spot fines is no doubt a government incentive to keep people out of the courts so they can tell us crime rates have dropped.

I didn't have a problem with It as I was at fault. I was expecting my on the spot fine and the officer asked If I was a certain person. Why I confirmed I was, he said 'I haven't seen you today'.. Nice one Officer :-6:-6

SSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH it doesn't happen.:wah:

A friend of mine was pulled over for drunken driving in Spain, Benalmadena to be exact.

He paid the police 320 euros, they then told him to drive home carefully and don't do it again or you will be in trouble.:yh_rotfl
