Charity blasts courts.A road safety charity has blasted magistrates who did not ban a driver with 28 points on his licence. Huddersfield-based charity Brake said it "beggared belief" that David Brett n. 1. Same as Britzska. , 31, from Dewsbury, was still not banned. In 2003 marketing boss Brett was twice caught driving with no insurance and was given 12 points - normally enough for a ban. But he told magistrates he needed a car for his work. In 2004 he ran up three more points for speeding and in the same year another 13 points for two speeding offences and having no insurance. Dianne Ferreira, from Brake, said: "This case is unbelievable. "By the courts' inaction in·ac·tion n. Lack or absence of action. inaction Noun lack of action; inertia Noun 1. they are letting this guy off the hook. "It sends the message that they don't take motoring offences seriously. "This beggars belief." Brett accrued ac·crue v. ac·crued, ac·cru·ing, ac·crues v.intr. 1. To come to one as a gain, addition, or increment: interest accruing in my savings account. 2. the points at Leeds, Huddersfield and Wakefield magistrates' courts. An investigation is under way to determine what went wrong. A spokesman for the Courts Service said: "We cannot comment on individual cases." |
