He is not the ONLY person doing that job and he can quite easily sit in the back of a vehicle and be driven to where he needs to fix vehicles. In an emergency, say a vehicle has been hit with an IED, and he is the only driver about then there would be nothing wrong with him driving it then. But to say that his job is SO important he can't not have a licence is a load of cr@p. As i said he will be one of a number of soldiers who do the same job.

The are certain circumstances where "certain" military personnel can legally speed (which i am not going to go into) but they are highly trained (far higher than police drivers) and only do it when necessary i.e. it's a work requirement.

As sy has said he will get into a bit of Sh!t at work and will no doubt suffer a promotion ban for a couple of years. But he has obviously had a good solicitor.

one of my ex military mates was allowed to legally speed regularly, when pulled by police sometimes after a lengthy chase he would openly tell them fcuk off once he chose where to pull over and no chance would they be allowed to see inside the car. it was only ever non aware officers that pulled him for lack of vehicle recognition

you'll know why  :happy2:

Thats what I always thought when I got donw, they followed me from 90ish all the way up to stupid triple figures, why not pull me as soon as im over the 100 mark?

They also try do me for dangerous driving, if its that dangerous why wait for me to get up to 140+

....There's more to dangerous driving than just speed. I expect they wanted to see how you were driving. Think of it this way, they may have stopped you and just given you a verbal warning for speed. This has happened to me several times with unmarked cars and all after being followed as much as 10 miles and at times at +90mph.
