"A WELSH driver has exploited an extraordinary loophole in the law to escape a driving conviction in a court case that could affect thousands of speeding motorists. John Hughes was allegedly clocked at 87mph while driving a Help the Aged van. But he drafted in top motoring law expert Philip Somarakis to fight his case. Mr Somarakis spotted that the traffic policeman failed to check his speed gun's accuracy at the end of the day, and Mr Hughes was able to walk free. The judge called the oversight "an extremely simple thing but absolutely necessary".
The defence solicitor claimed that "the integrity of the police force is at stake." [Police News]
