Another bit of interesting reading

In the penalties section, why don't they change the word 'could' to 'will' and fine them as well as throw them in the dungeons.

Well, because a mandatory prison sentence isn't necessarily proportionate. The threat of imprisonment is there as an option for more serious breaches of the law, or for an offence with aggravating factors.

A survey of 2000 people 'equates' to three quarters of a million motorists 'planning' to flout the law, apparently. That's another really lazy bit of journalism typical of the stuff on motoring.co.uk. And that extrapolation of the figures is then quoted as a fact by some bloke working for the Co-op Insurance folk!

Its stuff worthy of a Daily Mail headline, methinks!
