yes,
When an offence is commited then its at the officers descretion.
He didn't need descretion in this instance as I had not commited any offence.
I guess its the double spacing installed in me when doing my degree.
I do.This time I didn't I was in a car park in a doctors surgery. With man Flu.

So a copper who was well within his rights to issue you with a fixed penalty notice but decided instead just to have a chat is, as a result, an idiot?
Lost for words.
If you'd have done coursework in a broken style like that you would have failed.

He did have grounds to give you an FPN, as you drove forwards on public grounds that connect to the queens highway.
Stop being all high and mighty, you're not.
I'm not being high and mighty.
Its a Private car park for Surgery staff and patients.
Not for public parking of any kind.
I live in a house in the country with a long driveway.Does that mean I can get a fine driving up that without my seatbelt on?
It connects to the queens highway.

Its a public carpark for the public who are visiting the surgery, it connects to the highway, and therefore can be attributed to the rules laid out in the highway code.
You therefore needed a seatbelt when driving forwards. Stop being so high and mighty, you're not.
No, because your land/building isn't offering a public service.

Fox didnt say you failed, he said you would have failed.
Hell, even i
wouldnt type sentences
like this, because its
bloody stupid.
Are you actually sure it was private land, im guessing its not as private as you like ot think, especially as its connected to a public road.
Also, there was the possibility that you could have drove off without belt on, copper was pre-emptively reminding you that you should wear your seatbelt.

I'll highlight a key word that you seem to misunderstand. This indicates that the PUBLIC use the carpark, and that therefore the carpark is open to the PUBLIC. Given that it is also DIRECTLY attached to the PUBLIC HIGHWAY, it is goverened by the highway code.

Went the doctors parked up in the car park.
Came out got in my car reversed with belt off.
Came to the car park entrance pulled onto road and put belt on copper stopped
me saying I was driving without a seatbelt.
Why are traffic cops so bored all the time?
did you drive onto the road without the belt on and then pull over to put it on? or did you put it on whilst moving?
reversing without a seatbelt on is ok, its the driving forward after a maneuver on the highway that is not allowed.
also he is doing his job, its nothing to do with being bored, i bet thieves say the same.

Easyrider a lot of car parks that have public access are covered under the road traffic 1972 that does give the police the right to treat as a public highway,other wise if you had an RTA you could not make a claim.
