Queen Elizabeth II caught driving without seat belt

Queen Elizabeth II caught driving without seat belt © http://www.shanagrant.com


An elderly lady was caught driving a car without a seat belt. But she wasn't fined because she can't be. She's the Queen!

Queen Elizabeth drove her Jaguar away from a polo match in Windsor without wearing the belt, and The Daily Mail caught her on camera.

She was not on a pubic road, but even if she was, the chance of her getting a ticket was a zero.

Such driving is against the law, but a reigning monarch cannot be found guilty of it.

As British courts are established on her behalf, the Queen cannot be a defendant in one -- as it would mean she was prosecuting herself.

The Queen is also the only person in Britain who is permitted to drive without a licence and is not obliged to have registration plates on her vehicles.

For ordinary motorists, the fine for not wearing a seatbelt is 60 pounds. It was doubled from 30 pounds last year after the Home Office admitted the fine was not acting as enough of a deterrent.

The Queen, 84, is said to enjoy driving. During World War II, she was a member of the Auxiliary Transport Service.

She wasn't on a public road when this photo was taken, but even if she was, there was no chance a PC would pull her over.

@shababgeg Well you can get a medical exemption certificate if you had, say, a pussy abscess on your shoulder. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the Queen, everyone loves her. x

@abukamoon take a chill pill this vid is about driving not your opinion of military service.

[abukamoon]

During World War Two, Princess Elizabeth, who is now the Queen, joined the military and became a vehicle mechanic. She actually served in the military of her nation, unlike Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and many other cowardly politicians who have never done anything for anyone other than to advance their own careers.

god save our queen

if you've seen the glacial pace that she's driven about in, there is no possible hazzard that her majesty's driver and a high-security motorcade couldn't avoid. let's just say, the only thing a seat belt would provide are crease marks on the queens suit.
