Should have taken legal advice.

I suspect they were trying on a proper control charge.

Road Traffic Act 1988

An Act to consolidate certain enactments relating to road traffic with amendments to give effect to recommendations of the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission.

Should have been nicked for the "failure to display number plate" alone.

 

[motorbiking]

But for the avoidance of doubt, despite the press angle, it would be a massive stretch to be prosecuted for offensive gestures presented in this way.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Don't remember that hand signal being in the highway code.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Didn't realise Audi made vans.

So he got fined for sticking the finger up to a speed camera

Load of baloney imo

No - he got fined for failure to ID sec 172 road traffic act.

South Yorkshire Police said the driver of the Vivaro van knew he was not displaying a front number plate.

The man was convicted of failing to identify himself as the driver.

They are just putting media spin on it.
