Well, looks like i am getting a ban of some sort next week.. :bigcry:
I got a letter in the post in november saying that my car was spotted doing 52mph in a 30mph.
I had no choice but to declare that i was the driver at the time.
After reading through the statment provided by the community support officer (not poilce officer), i found for one, that he stated that he spotted the "Honda Civic" (which was actually a CRX) travelling towards him at an excessive speed. (Not entirely true).
I also realised that at the bottom of the statment, where it says "witness signature", that it hadn't been signed. Which means he was on his own.
I cant be sure that the speed that was recorded, was the speed that i was doing.
So i felt the need to email a few soliciters specializing in traffic offences, to find out what case i had.
Turns out, I actually have no defence for my case!
As a result i will have to plead guilty and appear in court next week.
The maxumum sentence for this is 6 points OR 56 day ban, 1000 pound fine.
If i was to plead not guilty, they would probably still find me guilty and give me the maximum penalty/sentence.
WHAT A PISS TAKE!
Where is the justice for the people!?
