Yes. And rightly so that someone driving like that is charged.

I guess this is where it all happened:
<http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&ie=UTF8&ll=53.704439,-2.109332&spn=0.000646,0.001577&t=k&z=19>
and that the driver entered the road from the north. How far out does one have
to be to continue on that road, judging from the satellite photos. Especially
if he "works as a driver" and presumably spends quite some time on the road.
