It's a lovely story, isn't it?
Mr Shafi, who appears to be a very wealthy man, didn't want to be banned because it might lead to him losing his job and, heaven 'elp us, he wouldn't be able to take his dear old mum to her GP.
I can barely see through my tears, but I wonder what the risk of losing his job and the appalling prospect of his dear old mum having to go by cab, has got to do with him refusing to reveal who was driving his Volvo?
£750 fine seems a bit light too, these days.
I've noticed quite a bit in my local paper, though, that when someone is caught speeding or on the phone, it's amazing how often the bloke is either on his way to or trying to get through to his dear old mum in some medical situation.
BTW. I misread the post title at first and thought he'd had 17 pints.

The article reports an excuse of "may risk job", so what, many others have lost theirs through totting up. Definate double standards.

I reckon he should be sent to jail immediately so as to set an example.
After all he is a persistent speeder and we would not to see one rule for the posh and wealthy and another one for poor, arrogant bikers, would we ?

i hope the BSM shareholder(s) take heed and do something.
With that driving history he is clearly the wrong man for the job!
And on his salary he could afford a taxi to get his mum to the GP!

In this country we have Justice and The Law and they don't often seem to be working together!

sadly in this country the side that can afford the more expensive lawyers, and bigger legal team, just about always wins regardless of merits of the case
based on lots of up close and personal experience on winning and loosing sides
there isnt any real justice, any illusions that there is any is mistaken
sad but true

I'd agree - a good lawyer can get good results.
What country offers a better system than the UK though ?
(I'm not suggesting that our current system is acceptable :-) )
I think the BSM boss should have been banned - and given a heavy fine.

No good reason why he wasn't banned and given a much bigger fine. What hope is there of discouraging other persistent motoring offenders when they see how lightly this idiot is treated?
Also, I really can't be doing with these losers - celebrities amongst them - who refuse to say who was driving or 'can't remember'. You've done it, don't be a baby about it, own up. In my book, it makes them no better than the usual scrotes who go through the system denying everything because nothing is ever their fault. Sorry if this is a bit of a rant, but not taking responsibility for your actions seems to be so much more prevalent these days.

According to my wonderful driving instructor, BSM = "Bring Some Money".

The Franchisees paying a fortune to BSM every week must be impressed, six points on their licence and it is bye bye to their career.

I'm surprised nobody has suggested he be banned from running a driving school...

No legal provision for that, I'm afraid. Ian Brady could start one if he were released tomorrow, it is only the peasants who give the actual lessons who have to be squeaky clean.
