Five people could be fined £1,000 if no one admits to driving speeding BMW on M6
If no one confesses in 28 days, all will be punished.
Five people could each receive a £1,000 fine if no one admits to driving a speeding BMW on the M6 in Staffordshire.
Officers from Staffordshire Police’s Road Crime Team claim the mystery driver thought they would get away with the offence by coming to a stop in an emergency refuge area.
But while the driver and four passengers sat at the side of the road, none of them ‘remembered’ who was driving.
However, that won’t help them avoid punishment either as police have decided to fine them all if no one confesses withing 28 days - meaning all five could be fined and receive licence points.
A spokesperson said: “This BMW was seen travelling at speed on the M6. The BMW thought he would be able to get away with it by stopping in a ERA.
“Unfortunately, no one could remember who the driver was. All 5 have been issued a 172. No reply with 28 days all will receive 6 points and £1000 fine.”
