Let’s see. Your car is stopped at a set of traffic lights in Ayr with the gears in neutral and the hand brake on and you take the opportunity to blow your nose. Then PC Plod walks over and gives you a fixed penalty notice for not being in proper control of your car.
This happened to an Ayrshire man who has refused to pay the £60 fine and awaits his day in court.
Alas, the man is unlikely to have his day in court for surely the Procurator Fiscal will chuck it out rather than allow the lawyers to have fun with it. And rightly so for it would not only waste the court’s time but bring yet more odium on Strathclyde Police for taking heavy-handed action in such silly circumstances.
