I have to agree with Lozzo on the spelling and grammar issue. It appears that "text speak" seems to spilling over into everyday things at the moment.

Apologies for the derail TJ. Hope you get it sorted.

Maybe, but that's my opinion, which I'm entitled to give.

I therefore find your post unnecessarily critical, but I'll leave it up to the mods to decide if anything on this thread is out of order.

There is a fair bit of abuse of the sect 59 system within the police at the moment, unfortunately it's a case of relatively new legislation being used a little more zealously than intended. Normally a copper needs a reasonable level of evidence to get a job to court, and Sect 3 offences (careless driving/riding) are not that easy to prove. Unfortunately the sect 59 legislation doesn't require them to have the standard of evidence necessary to go to court before taking action, it's all down to the coppers belief at the time, and as a result there are a fair few Sect 59's dished out where there is clearly insufficient evidence to secure a conviction, and this seems to be one of them. As as has been said they couldn't have seized the car unless you were warned and continued, or you had received a warning on a previous occasion.
Most forces have a policy that if the officers are seizing a vehicle there is a presumption on prosecution for the original offence (driving off road/careless driving) so you should have been reported. Expect a summons in due course.

All this talk of dyslexia, I'm dyslexic too but you'd be hard pressed to tell.

Sorry for off topic.
