Fail to stop...

Quite and there is nothing personal in my comments and I agree with you regarding the application od Section 59 - you'd be wrong not to use it where your judgement indicates it's appropriate. As you said it's there in the toolbox for you to use in the relevant circumstances.

Still a crap law though  :D

There again, you could take the view that he got off lightly. As s59 can only be used if specific offences have been committed, it is up to the police officer to decide whether to report the underlying offence or to issue a warning notice.

As to what happens if a second warning is issued and a vehicle is siezed, does anyone have a link to the regulations that the SoS has made as mentioned in s60

PRA 2002 is at  http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2002/20030--f.htm#60

If the warning has the desired effect on this particular driver (and possibly his mates when news of his warning circulates) and a more serious incident is avoided surely that is a good thing.

Ok,

I believe this thread has now run its course, those who had an interest have said their piece and before this goes into a heated affray, I feel it best to lock the thread.

I for one appreciate what police officers do and to go any further with this discussion would not be fair to our serving officer members.

What is done is done and we should leave it there.
