Cummings admits going to a noted beauty spot on his wife& #39;s birthday. He says he felt ill, it clouded his eyesight, and he decided to go for a drive with his wife and child to see if he could drive safely. That they went to a vacation spot is coincidental.

"We decided to go for a drive to see if I could drive safely."

Even though he says he did nothing wrong, Cummings and his wife wrote articles for the Spectator that made it appear they& #39;d stayed in London.

This is not academic. A guy was jailed the other day for this.
