Comment on What’s driving Cycling Mikey, Britain’s most hated cyclist?
Arrakis@feddit.uk 1 year agoMaybe you should have included the entire quotation:
However, although the House of Lords in Pinner v Everett held that a person might still be driving even when they turned off the engine and got out of the car it is unlikely, other than in exceptional circumstances, to be appropriate to use section 41D to prosecute any person who in these circumstances made a phone call or accessed the internet

Unlikely doesn’t mean it can’t happen. It also says “exceptional circumstances”. That’s two caveats that explicitly confirm that they can do EXACTLY what I wrote, if it suits them.

Perhaps you should read the case law you’re quoting, because the exceptional circumstances are quite well laid out.

Very clearly I have read it more carefully than you have, considering you’re continuing to misunderstand it.
Are you deflecting to arguing minutiae because you’re unable to refute my actual argument?

If you had actually read it, you’d understand that the extenuating circumstances (aka suspicion of drink driving) are what makes those decisions exceptional.
If you had actually any understanding of case law, you’d know to read the full decisions.
But since you’re clearly just perpetuating nonsense, I myself will discontinue arguing with it.
