JUSTICE

[lonner]

laughed me head off


The Chief Exec of Serco UK, the global service company that has contracts in Safety Cameras, defence, justice, healthcare and many more sectors has been arrested after being photographed driving at 102mph on the A11.

Tom Riall is due to appear before magistrates in Suffolk on Wednesday. If found guilty he faces a driving ban of up to two years and a £2,500 fine.

When asked about the incident he said "I was travelling from my home to a business meeting on a clear A-road and I was unaware of my speed."

His comments have provoked road safety campaigners into angry reactions with one questioning how a man responsible for many of the UK's safety cameras could claim to be 'unaware' that he was travelling at over 100mph.

Serco have been the UK agent for Gatso for many years and have contracts with most of the UK Safety Camera Partnerships for their supply and maintenance. In 2008 they lead a Government backed anti-speeding campaign called Safe Drive Stay Alive.



Strangley, Serco's UK website is shy about broadcasting their safety camera business. You'll find it mentioned in a single line under their Law Enforcement Markets section.

hahahaha!

That's great!

[ThoughtContro...]

People like him always get off easy. It's a matter of National security, defence of the realm, some other bullshit, ie he's not a common pleb but an important cog in the wheel. 3 points and don't do it again, roll up yer trouser leg and see you down the masonic hall m'lud.

6 points, £200 fine, speed awareness course. (I bet).

Or he'll be made a proper example of. 2 year ban.

Thinking about it, if I were the head bod of a scamera manufacturer, I'd be carrying a wee remote control that would initiate the fourth directive whenever I'm near one.
