Hmm, maybe they should do that to the Bloody premiership footballers who are constantly diving. Cheating b4stards! Besides, its not as if they'll miss the money?! And, most premiership footballers are completely up their own arse so they deserve what they get.

 

I agree that the sentence is disproportionate to the "original crime". As for "lying" or "perjury" in my opinion that is a grave matter when relating to something that should be taken seriously, but the road traffic rules and the way they are enforced in this country have resulted in a lot of people disrespecting these aspects of the law. The perception of this may well have caused this woman to act in such a foolish way, wheras she may not have done so had she been facing prosecution for a "real crime".

Some consistency from the authorities would be welcomed. I know somebody who put his wife's name down on a NIP only to be sent photographs clearly showing a man driving the vehicle and he was asked to double check who was driving and so was given the opportunity to "own up".

More welcomed would be a review of this government's "persecute the motorist policies" and perhaps substituting "real crime targets" instead

 

There's an opportunity to give the benefit of the doubt in that case, in that it could well have been a genuine mistake. That's not there when claiming the driver is someone who was 4000 miles away at the time, and you've done it twice.

Saying that, the gov and police policy towards motorists is seriously wrong.
