Call time on this crime

THERE is a 10 per cent buffer plus 2mph when prosecuting speeding offences as speedometers are inaccurate. That is why the speedometers of police traffic vehicles should be checked daily to ensure there are no unlawful prosecutions.

IAN LINDON, Bexley, Kent. THEFTS, assaults, drug offences and burglaries are often dealt with by police caution, but drive at 31mph in a 30mph zone and God help you.

ALAN MEADOWS, Bolton, Gtr Manchester. WILL the police nick motorists for driving with undue care and attention for staring at their speedometers? MARTIN SHERIDAN, Hampton, Middlesex.
