WILL YOU LOT READ WHAT 119.5 WROTE ON A PREVIOUS THREAD WHICH I HAVE QUOTED ABOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




THIS IS A WIND UP!!!!!!!!!

Does no one think it odd that 119.5 is the only person who has any knowladge of this??????

119.5 put a question on another thread identical to this senario, except it concerned a pilot.....he failed then to say what exactly it is he is trying to get at, and is failing here again.

Please read what I have written on page 1. I am fully aware of the legislation. However Aiding and abetting probably would not apply in this fictional senario. As for letting someone drive your car that you KNOW not be insured, the offence is KNOWINGLY Permitting No Insurance.

Negligence is not the same as permitting or Aiding and abetting an offence. In this senario, the managemet do not KNOW he has committed an offence, they mearly suspect. As I said on page 1, they do not have the right to demand or require a breath test, and probably do not have the means to administer one. Until they have the result of a breath, blood or unine test they can only suspect not KNOW. You are correctly quoting me from page one when I said that a constable is the only person who can require a Breath test and it is his decision whether to administer one.

Again, on page one I said that they should have taken him off controlling duties immidiatly if they suspect he was committing an offence, they should also have called the police. To not do so is condoning what he is doing, until such time as he was suspended. There is and cannot be any bar to suspending someone later, although as I have pointed out ad nasium, they should have done it at the time they were informed.


As regards to this being a criminal offence, in the fictional circumstances 119.5 has given, he has not been given a breath/blood or urine test...there is therefore no evidence of a criminal offence. The same would apply if you drove your car after 6 pints, if you arn't stopped there is no offence.


I am wondering why you are quoting back to me exactly what I have said, I presume its because you have not read whats been written by me on this and other threads on the subject.....

I am sure you are supporting your collegue, trouble is he does not exist.....119.5 is winding you up!!!!
