I WAS quite amused reading the letter by Mr Traves (Echo, Friday, July 17).
What is he moaning about? The fact is that he broke the law. Maybe with his “it was only a split second” attitude, perhaps we should be giving bank robbers a 10-minute start or something.
As for his comment about CO² emissions from the council patrol car, the walk from Maclean Road to Poole Lane would take about five minutes, or perhaps his sister-in-law could have made it even sooner if she ran in the direction of the school!
Pay the fine and cut your CO² emissions.
