Say you were the driver, tell the police you lied to them and gave them his name, then take the punishment. Your mate then gets off scot free.

You do not say if he is a bus driver or shunter. If a bus driver I would be more worried about the Traffic commisioner than the magistrate. He/she has the power to revoke his licence perminantly. He/she also has the power to revoke the operating licence of the company if it is proved that times set require speeding to fulfill. 92mph sorry no simpathy, HC

I didnt think buses went that fast. Tell him to plead guilty. Hopefully he will learn his lesson. Sorry to be square but the punishment must fit the crime!

I am trying to help one of my best friend who works in the Arriva bus depot in Skem, and I need advice on what to say to him. Here is the scenario:

The running time from Kirkby to Skem depot on the M58 motorway set by the bosses in Skem is a skinny 8 minutes. He was trying to do that about five weeks agao, and got caught by a marked police car doing 92mph.

He already has 9 points on his license, and says that the police are going to give him three more, meaning that he will be banned from driving his car for a year.

On top of this the police have told him that as well as his car license going, his bus license, and his job could go with it, meaning that he can never drive any bus again.

How can I support him? What are the right things to do to support him? What are the right things to say to him? I would be so grateful if anyone knows or could help.
driveing like that mate he is not safe to be on the road so it is probabily better he gets banned before he kills someone
