Drinking Special Brew will get you drunk in much the same way that
going to prison will give you a roof over your head and free meals.

They aught to. Drifting OT given this is utl but I was out in
Manchester the other week and was getting a lift home in a taxi when a
stretched Porsche Cayenne with those "bling" revolving hub-caps pulled
up alongside us. The taxi driver nearly creamed his pants

Oh, if it was the unreadable number plates that were at issue,
it's a good thing you used such a helpful subject as
"Stretched SUV."

Did you see the stretched SUV with unreadble number plates
pass any police vehicles?

Then the SUV was presumably not pulled over for the same reason
that cars that speed past speed cameras are not pulled over.

How exactly is a speed camera going to arrest someone for unreadable number
plates?

Same way that they arrest people for dangerous driving. You dont need
traffic police in this day and age, just a few cameras and a call centre
in Coventry.
