Al Massey Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 i was in weymouth driving out down the main stretch and a female copper pulled me saying i was speeding went through all the usual is this your car cr*p and is it insured then said i was doin 43 in a 30 and the reason she checked me was becaused she heard me before i got round the corner. but im confussed coz my speedo says 30 and my GPS says 24 and to do 43 on my GPS my speedo reads 54 and i know i wasnt going that fast as i just got round the corner of a roundabout. bloody pi**ed off 3 points and a £60 fine she wants to give me so im going to take it to court and see what happens i think does anyone think thats a bad idea?

jazz1 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 just to warn you that if you do go court and convicted guilty, which happend to me you will have to pay the 60 pound fine aswell as their solicitor fees of 400. I went to court good job i did as i was saved by getting full six points but left with a fine off 500:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoFuture Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 if you honestly wasnt speeding then i cant see how they would have evidence to prosecute you, but then again if you was speeding and you go to fine they will make an example of you. dificult one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I think you are making a big mistake here. And, just going on your opening statement of "I always win", I would remind you that "pride comes before a fall" and all that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Good luck chap...I got done doing 35 in a 30mph zone only 3 years back...They (Northampton's Finest) offered me a £60 fine with 3 points- or £60 fine and Free "Correctional Driving Attitude Course"...my words, not theirs..Erm...I took "The Course" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 If you honestly weren't speeding then I can't see how they would have evidence to prosecute you......Such touching innocence Anyway, (IIRC) lasers are 100% accurate ONLY when held perfectly still and aimed at a flat surface...... which, of course, they ALWAYS are when operated by one of our fine police persons.

ultra_supra Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Instead why don't you get her number, give her a call and take her out to dinner. thats a plan i agree with others comments - may be better to just pay the fine n take the 3 points unless you have a real good case to go to court with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are making a big mistake here. And, just going on your opening statement of "I always win", I would remind you that "pride comes before a fall" and all that? yes yes we know, let him apose the law this should be funny, Massey take it on the chin son, its less hasstle than its worth and you know they will make an example of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I would do exactly the same mate and take it to court if you definately was not speeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I would do exactly the same mate and take it to court if you definately was not speeding. As a judge, who are you going to believe - A police officer (and a female one - which the old judges love) with no vested interest or a person with a vested interest in getting off? If you don't have any evidence other than opinion (which you can't use in court) then you will just be stung harder. The courts hate people wasting their time. The court would certainly make you pay the solicitor costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QSC Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Get a solicitor if you go to court - seriously - mags will totally ignore anything you say, but a solicitor will be heard - I speak from experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
