It says: "Humberside Police investigated concerns brought to our attention by a member of public relating to an alleged motoring offence which happened on November 29, last year. A formal complaint was not made, however.
"The circumstances were investigated by a senior traffic officer and the recommended action was independently reviewed, as is our policy.
"The driver was given suitable words of advice as a result.
"For offences of this nature, where there is no formal complaint, this is the normal outcome."

“If he had any honour, integrity or self respect, he would insist on paying the fine and taking the points...if points are aqppropriate, I ain't sure, to be honest, I never do any wrong.”

“To the people saying "someone" should make a complaint. Go on then. No reason why it shouldn't be you. Good luck.”

“The whole sorry episode beggars belief. How on earth are the public supposed to show any respect for the police when this happens? Even more so when he admitted the offence. The way he was appointed was a shambles, what little respect I had for him and Grove have now gone competely out of the window, and the Humberside police if it comes to that”

“here we have an example of "the old pals act" in all of its glory. Anyone caught in similar circumstances should cite this case in their defence. Or is it one law for them and one law for the rest of us?”
