DH got a verbal warning off a police officer today for what he said was an bad driving ( and it was) I just want to know is it just a slap on the wrist.
The officer said he could do 2 things.

1: A summons to court.

2: A fixed penalty.

He said he didnt have time for these so DH just got a verbal warning, is that the end of the matter.

No, doesn't sound like it

QueenPeaHead · 15/10/2006 19:27

uh, I mean , obviously

MerlinsBeard · 15/10/2006 19:28

its like the adult equivelent of the naught step. Theres probably not even a written record of it although i could be wrong so don't me to that! I have had verbal warnngs before though as well as a proper caution and nothing came of any of it

grovelling is the only way to go. policemen LOVE grovelling. and winsome smiles. and "oh dear aren't I a silly billy girl" attitudes.

although I don't suppose your dh tried either of those two...

SPACEdoutzombieCADET · 15/10/2006 19:33

a verbal warning is just that,your dh wont get a police record or anything.

Piffle · 15/10/2006 19:59

Yes end of. I got a producer and a telling off but no other action...

I was pulled over once for not wearing a seat belt (didn't want to crease my blouse ) and after some apologies and explaining that I was taking car to garage the officer looked under my bonnet and cleaned my distributor plug bits and off I went I'm not sure I'd get away with that now though!

Can't believe you'd admit to that!
