Title: Driving ban for pair caught speeding in North Yorkshire

For once words fail me!

But just before they do I witnessed this when walking up Glumangate this morning, the junction with Saltergate is 'turn right' only. There is a no left turn sign on a post, a right turn only painted on the road and the green traffic light is a right directional arrow - oh, also the nearside kerb is extended outwards to prevent a left turn.

This guy waited for the lights to turn green and then promptly turned left!!! He then turned left at the side of the town hall so I can only assume that he couldn't be ar5ed to turn right and go round the donut!

See it all the time.
Turning right out of Soresby St onto Saltergate.
Every which way around the town hall.
Best ever, car drove up Elderway and turned left onto Saltergate. Police car !!

Bear in mind the 4 month sentences are suspended.

Mind you Simon, the 3 year ban will hurt them judging by the motors they drive.

And if they are caught breaking the ban the suspended sentence will kick in.
