Lawyer escapes drink-driving charge

[Scouse]

Don't really care if he's just over the limit. The NZ limit is too high already and he's clearly not learning...

...

If you dont like our limit then you can always piss off back to from where you came

He continued up the road about 200m before entering his driveway and parking by his house.

The police followed the car on to Taffs' property.

Taffs told the court he never saw the flashing lights, but Sherie said ''any reasonable motorist'' would have seen them.

The judge said he was not prepared to say Taffs had seen the police lights and believed his ''surprise and concern'' at finding the officers in his driveway was ''genuine''.

Technicality?

If the road was 60km/h, it would take 12 seconds to cover the 200m distance.
If the road was 100 km/h, it would take 7.2 seconds to cover the 200m distance.

Either way it is more than the 6 seconds interval recommended for a driver to check the rearview mirror.
That means the guy could be done on the grounds of trying to evade the police, or at the very least driving without due care and attention (careless driving?).

Lateral thinking...
