Yesterday, I posted about an entitled person.
Here's two more:
The first one is a Conservative police and crime commissioner married to a Conservative MP.
The second drives a Range Rover.
Or did until she got banned today.
They have both committed motoring offences. I have marginally more sympathy for the first one of these - Caroline Henry who has been charged with five (YES FIVE!) speeding offences between March and June last year - the story, as reported by the BBC, is here.
However, those five offences were all between 5 and 10mph over the limit in a 30-Zone.
I speak as someone caught doing 37mph in a 30-Zone. I got a speed awareness course which did educate me quite a bit and I now have to accept that 37mph is dodgy in a 30-Zone.
Normally, you can spot the fixed cameras and the mobile vans miles off - I was caught out by a van parked on the opposite side of the road in the dark. So I don't understand how anyone could be caught 5 times including twice by the same camera.
The fact she drives a "silver Lexus with a personalised number plate" doesn't make her any more palatable and the fact she is a Conservative explains why she isn't looking to resign despite her promise to "reduce crime with action, not words". Another example of her arrogance is that she ignored the advice of her solicitor and wrote to the Court stating that she was sorry, ashamed and embarrassed which may sound like contrition but made his job a lot harder. Mind you, he's a solicitor so who cares?
The second woman is Sherrilyn Speid who,despite her name, didn't commit a speeding offence. No, she nudged climate change protesters with her car because they were blocking her route to take her child to school. Her solicitor "challenged the driving ban as it would mean Speid could no longer shop for her mother, who has multiple sclerosis, drive to work, or drop off her son at school or football."
I suspect that she is rich enough to order an Uber but if not, then how about doing what unentitled people do and get on a bus?
