So you're saying that if I'm rich and I want to speed I hire a driver with no money and quietly cover the fine for him?
I've always wondered about this loophole in that system.
- jjk166 2y agoHow often are you getting speeding tickets that having a driver on payroll is cheaper than fines?
- ars 2y agoMe? Never. Someone really rich? Well, that's my question.
- brokenmachine 2y agoThat's a ridiculous loophole to wonder about... but if it happens at scale and becomes a problem, then they could write another clause into the law.
- ars 2y agoReally? If I were rich, and in a hurry (as opposed to speeding for the thrill) it's exactly what I would do. How would you word this clause without people saying "I just hired him, I didn't tell him to speed"?
- brokenmachine 2y agoThis is just not happening. Rich people aren't hiring people to speed drive them in their own cars. If you're rich enough you don't need to hurry... And if you do, you take the private jet.
- DandyDev 2y agoIf you hire someone to so a job for you, you are accountable. Unless they bring their own car and accept liability.
