Chris huhne - speeding penalty points

Absolutley not! Although I believe this is a common occurance.

Another example of where a man in the public eye places his own self-importance and position over and above accepting the consequences of HIS actions and the law.

I seriously have concerns about the judgement of some of these elected officials in being able to undertake their professional duties with integrity and probity, if this is how they behave in their private lives.

If eventually proved them they should throw the book at him as a deterent to others. His denial has cost police time and money and if later proved innocent then his ex-wife should face charges for wasting police time and her vindictiveness.

Funnily enough Parchy I see Emmerdale is running a story line on the same subject. Very interesting how the case went and I would think very untrue to what would really happen to anyone doing that.

Yes also it looks like a woman scorned that has landed him in trouble or else why would she come forward and say this year's after it happened.

Hasn't he been a naughty boy. Yes they probably will make an example of him as he is in a position of power and has broken the law.
Would I do the same? No as I couldn't bear the shame of someone paying for something I did, that's wrong.
Would I take the blame for someone else? Again no.

I wouldn't either Lillie. I don't see why when I drive carefully, do not exceed the speed limit and pay for parking my car I should be responsible for another person's carelessness. I've had this discussion with friends and family before and they think I'm really mean not to help out but I've never had a point on my licence and do not intend to get one either.

This is a total no brainer as I wouldn't do anything that prejudices my integrity nor that of another, especially where a clearly criminal act is invlved.

Unfortunately the rest of the world is not so clean cut and this kind of thing goes on all the time, where identities are swopped to evade punishment. And to find a member of parliament involved is atrocious and should be dealt with sternly ... I would not be unhappy if a custodial sentence was allowable here as the status of the defendent is so important, even if it was suspended it would still remain a massive stain on character.

I assume that the wife is also facing investigation as she was clearly complicit in all of this?

Quite apart from the fact that I don't agree with what they did, I think they're total bloody idiots.

Mr & Mrs Joe anonymous might have got away with it, but if you set yourself up for a career in the public eye......

No. It's illegal so no discussion needed.

Absolutely not, not for anyone, never!

no i very much doubt it

no matter who you are sabre no one is above the law

Mwah-ha-ha-ha!

Gotta laugh when a politician totally screws up his future by trying to duck a couple of points on his licence!

I would never dream of asking anyone to take my points and quite frankly if someone would ever ask me I would never respect them for even putting me in a position!!!

As a matter of principle never take responsibility for such things!Extra problem for ex-wife taking vengence is that she also perverted course of justice by doing what she did and she too has been charged. Not a good move to take out vengence whilst not thinking over the consequences!

No, its illeagal (sic).
Any body else like to phrase a "would you do XXXX" where XXX is illegal question. ?? May as well just have everyone declare if they are Honest / Dishonest as well as Male / Female when signing up.
