Except that no police officer in London has ever seized a vehicle because it has a dangerous metal bull bar fixed to its bonnet, let alone the kinds of vehicles associated with reckless speeding. And anyone who drives a 4X4 with a personalized number plate is almost certainly a lawbreaker with a severe personality disorder.
