Motor vehicle. Please Sir : my dad says that that is incorrect: can you try again: or perhaps provide some evidence if you're sure that you are right. It would be bad form for an (ex) teacher to be giving out duff gen. 1. Motor vehicle operators frequently ignore red traffic lights: between 50% and 66% of them who have the opportunity to do so, do. 2. Motor vehicle operators frequently ignore pedestrian only footways by driving onto and parking on them. 3. Motor vehicle operators frequently ignore speed limits. The only one of the list which motor vehicle operators do infrequently is ignore one-way working. However, as I am sure we can all agree, it does happen. It is very rare that car drivers ignore one way streets, some accidentally go up them the wrong way, but cyclists do it quite deliberately. It is very rare that cyclists ignore motorway restrictions, some accidentally stray onto motorways, but learner motorists do it quite deliberately. Do you have any proof of that? Unfortunately there is no distinct crime code for learner drivers on the motorway. You're wrong (again). It is an offence (a breach of the motorway regulations) for a learner driver to drive on a motorway. And the accompanying qualified driver would also be guilty of an offence. Please feel free to correct me, but as I understand it, the offence code for a learner driver on the motorway and driving a prohibited agricultural vehicle on the motorway are under the same offence code (MW10). I am very happy to be corrected if my understanding is wrong. |
