Lots of private employers do it with their fleets. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15821#post-205872 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 12:18:42 +0000 Dave 205872@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You'd think that there would be a liability with the council to deal with this. Imagine if it was 60,000 cases of any other offence (taking a bribe to swing some mandatory repair work?) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15821#post-205864 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 11:35:29 +0000 kaputnik 205864@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-34983090" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-34983090</a></p> <p><em>A council vehicle tracking system has recorded nearly 60,000 cases of speeding over four years but no staff have been disciplined or prosecuted.<br /> Dumfries and Galloway Council fitted the equipment in pool cars and other vehicles in 2010.<br /> Since then it has tracked thousands of incidents of the limit being broken by at least 10%, including a vehicle going at 95mph on the A74(M) near Moffat.<br /> The council said it sent out warning emails but took no further action.</em> </p>
