Book Theory Test Today<\/i><\/b> investigates why, despite starring on a hit TV driving show, James May thinks he can flout UK driving laws.\u00c2\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
James May, star of TV driving show Top Gear, has a driving licence and he would have taken driving lessons and a practical exam to get a licence. So why, when you have such a high profile, ironically on a driving show, would you decide to blatantly flout UK driving laws? Asks Book Theory Test Today<\/b>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
Granted, mobile phones probably weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even around when May began his quest to get a driving licence and land a job on one of Britain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s longest running shows. Furthermore, the theory test<\/b> probably didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even exist, so perhaps he had no knowledge that driving with a mobile phone glued to his ear was an offence.<\/p>\n
But, as with most motorists caught driving whilst holding a mobile phone, James May probably thought it would never happen to him.<\/p>\n
Having been a car enthusiast for most of his life, Book Theory Test Today<\/b> thought James May would know better. After all, he co-presents a driving show that is watched by millions of impressionable young motorists, both fully licensed and learners.<\/p>\n
His actions have the potential to influence many young motorists about to sit their theory test<\/b> or driving exam, leading them to believe that \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwell if James May can get away with it, why not me?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n
Driving an \u00c2\u00a380,000 Porsche 911, May was photographed by a passenger of a passing motor vehicle and, luckily for him, not by the police.<\/p>\n
Book Theory Test Today <\/b>says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<\/b>The law clearly specifies that you will be issued with a fixed penalty notice of \u00c2\u00a3100 if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re caught using a hand-held phone while driving a vehicle or riding a motorcycle. You will also receive 3 penalty points on your licence.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Book Theory Test Today<\/b> adds: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your case also has the potential to end up in court and you could be disqualified from driving or riding and get a maximum fine of \u00c2\u00a31,000.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Book Theory Test Today<\/b> (at the time of writing) cannot confirm if May\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actions have been reported to the police. However, the police did decline to comment on the situation.<\/p>\n
If the case is pursued by the Metropolitan Police, James May could lose his driving licence, severely jeopardising his position on Top Gear.<\/p>\n
Book Theory Test Today<\/b> can also confirm that James May\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s representative refused to comment when contacted by several national newspapers and media outlets.<\/p>\n
