Yeah... especially when so much of it is to do with the domestic nationals!!!   :roll:

Indeed. I couldn't agree more with that comment. It is becoming all the more common for the likes of the Daily Mail and Daily Express to come out with jingoistic bullcrap, that seems to inflame those that still live in the age of the Raj and Empire.
It has an unhealthy ring of a certain European country in the 1930's about it.
As I've said before numerous times, I do not have a problem with anyone in this country, providing they play by the rules, pay their taxes and behave like decent people.

Wasn't there a law brought in that if there is direct access to the public highway you can still get done for driving illegally on private land ???

I think it was brought in for control on festivals and new age travelers , But it affected a lot more ..

It meant we had to have maned locked gates at bike rallys so people could ride their bikes around the showground without a helmet .Locked gates meaning there was no direct access ..I don't think it was used much it was just there if needed....

There was something brought in to deal with it, hence supermarket carparks, that are private land, are now classed as Public under the Road Traffic Act. I don't know how that would cover private driveways though.

Doesn't matter. If she doesn't have a full license then it's an offence and she's just as likely to run over a child on the pavement as on the street.

yes but be reasonable, im sure you would be hacked off if you got done for not wearing a seatbelt whilst you were parking your car. same sorta thing.

As far as I'm aware, the law was changed to deal with stuff like accidents, allegations of careless driving and such like.
