I’m amazed that someone learning to drive gets a ticket (Echo, Feb 26) when under the instruction of a qualified instructor. It should be the instructor’s duty to prevent this type of thing happening.
They have an obligation to the student driver. The instructor has separate foot pedals so he should have either told her to slow down or used his own brake.
After all, she only had 12 hours of lessons. Give her a break.
Not really sure why the mobile camera is always down that hill anyway. Have there been any accidents or deaths there?
I ran a campaign in Aylesbury, which was very successful, that exposed unfair usage of the mobile speed cameras. It’s not about safety anymore, it’s all about revenue.
This poor girl should not have received the ticket because she was under instruction. Hence the giant red L plates!
