    Perhaps the OP is considering gallantly taking the penalty themselves by doing a 'Vicky Pryce'?

    Wel it doesn't appear to have done her any harm, more media work than before the conviction.

    This of course ignores the irony of treating a Greek economist as having much credibility in the first place, well at least one born in the last 2000 years anyway.

    Did she not discuss it with the officer who gave her the ticket ?

    Do you actually drive? Your posts all show a shocking ignorance of everything road related. There are red light cameras all over the country! Along with yellow box junctions.
