Bob on, Lud. My friend is an excellent driver and one that I feel utterly safe with. The stretch of road in question is, like Westpig says, a road which has a 50mph limit but is perfectly safe to do the speeds my friend was doing at that time of the morning providing plenty of attention is paid to the task in had. My friend knew this and doubtless the policeman knew this.
Scousehonda - if you read my original post you'll see that he was given the fixed penalty for not wearing a seatbelt, but was actually wearing a seatbelt. If you see what I mean.
For those that know the area, or are a wiz on Google Earth and whatnot, the road in question was the A565 through Ince Woods, between Ince Blundell and Thornton.
