Never mind whether he was fiddling with the phone or not it would have been obvious to anyone viewing an image or video that he was listening on headphones. How could he be so stupid as to think that it would OK?

My primary concern is about a criminal record, my employer will certainly raise it, if it shows up on an enhanced DBS check.
If it doesn't show up do I still have to declare it?

I have never had a speeding conviction show up on an enhanced DBS check, nor on a BPSS. I also never declared them but some people I have worked with have, usually to be told it isn't a concern. It is a question of whether it's seen as 'withholding information'. Personally I asked first and got told not to bother unless it was an imprisonable offence. 

Do you really mean speeding conviction? I can understand accepting a speed awareness course after an FPN does show up but not a conviction for speeding in the magistrates court. I know from personal experience that a conviction for driving without due care & attention does show up on an enhance DBS check

I can only assume London is a nightmare to drive in and is becoming even worse??
   

Never has a truer statement been made!

- Box junctions becoming standard everywhere and enforced by cameras and postal PCNs
- Bus-only turns that are only in force at certain times, but on roads that are so busy it is quite impractical to read and understand the sign without inconveniencing traffic behind you, who being Londoners will of course start honking horns after 0.01 of a second
- ULEZ (won't go into this!)
- Hardly anywhere to park even in the suburbs, the few remaining places rapidly all becoming residents permit areas
- The above meaning that the few places available to park in are heavily contested, with local residents keying cars that park there or slashing their tyres.  3 times within a year for me, and this is in an otherwise very sleepy and crime-free area
- Any private residential areas now enforced by rabid PPCs and their despicable debt-collector sidekicks
- I could go on!

You forgot to mention the absolutely appalling standard of driving from the majority of drivers.😀

Surely the evidence from the CEO confirms that the car had moved? They have noted front as 11 on first observation then 12 on second observation.

DD limits were a lot higher in those days1 Not that I was driving then, I was too young.

As far as I recall blood tests for alcohol were introduced at the same time as the breathalyser so if you failed the breathalyser you got a blood test. The blood alcohol limit for drivers has always been 80mg/100mL. Previously they would have tested drunk drivers by getting them to walk a straight line or recite "The Leith police dismisseth us".

Most of Manchester’s boozers are now cashless, it works in the landlords favour if you don’t see actual cash leaving your pocket you don’t get that sense what a waste of money so just tap tap away with your card.

It also prevents the staff pocketing the change.
