"Suggested" what you commented on? Oh come now, you can do better than inference, surely?
And where did I say speeders were doing nothing wrong? "Harming no-one" yes, but you're putting words in my mouth, sir!
Sadly things like the human rights act seem to trip police up, not being able to arrest someone with a very minor offence. People are caught daily for no insurance, and are simply reported for it, car ceased in some cases, and sent on their way. Its not an arrestable offence. This is why people with no licences still receive driving bans. Once officially banned and its on the PNC, it IS an arrestable offence, for which you can be detained. But after that they are still at the mercy of some pretty useless magistrates.

parents were. That said, it's a pretty big failure of the system to not check that insurance documents presented are valid/current. He could have been arrested on the spot for not providing valid insurance. Of course then he would have been released on bail and probably would have done a disappearing act anyway

I was told recently that those who dwell in caravans below the law are not called travellers or pikeys. Apparently they are known as pikeyb*st*rds.
All one word pikeyb*st*rds. or so I'm told.

If he deliberately misled the Police by presenting revoked insurance documents (deception? perverting the course of justice?) and there was a chance he would disappear into the ether again, then personally I would like to see him arrested. Also don't forget that there might be charges of dangerous driving, driving a car with defective brakes (or trying to pervert the course of justice again by lying about the brakes!), driving without insurance etc.
What are the rules on bail in the UK, is it like the US where hundreds or thousands of pounds need to be handed over as surety? "Travellers" often live in the black economy and are not short of readies, so a sufficiently steep surety could ensure they're made to have their day in court??
