A solicitor has been splashed over the Sunday Express after giving some kids a ride on his car roof. Very slowly. At Bible camp.
Mark Harvey, a solicitor in Bordon, Hampshire, and a deputy district judge, was at a holiday Bible class in nearby St Peter's International Presbyterian Church. He had a canoe strapped to his the roof of his car, and the local pastor suggested that some of the kids might like a ride in it. All the parents consented and Harvey, a church elder, drove the very excited children at a snail's pace round a private road.
Unfortunately for Harvey his route took him past the home of "retired retail executive" Richard Pearcey, who caught the escapade on CCTV. Pearcey's wife, being amiserable curtain twitcher responsible member of the local community, immediately reported Harvey to the police. Who investigated. And did precisely nothing.
Mrs Pearcey told the Sunday Express "I felt the children could have fallen and been injured, and I felt it was a police matter". Kevin Clinton, head of road safety at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (and who possibly needs to get out a bit more), claimed that it was "an extremely stupid and dangerous thing to do".
Harvey said he was driving very slowly, there was no traffic around, the children were never in any danger and it was just a bit of fun.
