Re: I need some hellp please!!!!
What was the speed limit of said roundabouts?

Excuse the long info. It seems like it's your word against theirs, unfortunately theirs tends to be stronger. Best you can do is stand your ground. They would need some sort of proof, such as video footage of the like. Surely them saying you couldn't hear your tyres from your stereo is a bit of a shot in the dark, as it were? Hope that when you collect your vehicle they'll let you off with a caution or the like. |

Re: I need some hellp please!!!!
Then you weren't speeding and you should stick to your guns, I'd say! Seems like they had a bad day and were making it a pain in what you sit on for ya!
Tbh it's a bit far fetched.. They can hear your tyres squeal from inside their patrol car, what should be a safe distance away (so call it 15m), above any conversation they may have and above their radio chatter, all crap IMO. |

Re: I need some hellp please!!!!
sorry, but if you were misbehaving and drawing yourself to the attention of the police, then what on earth makes you think it's OK to try and get out of it?
From the nature of your post, I'm going to make a huge assumption here and say that you lack maturity. If you've got a job that required a clean license, then you might want to take better care of it. I know this isn't what you want to hear, but take whatever punishment you're given on the chin, learn the lesson, and take a bit more responsiblity for yourself in future.

Re: I need some hellp please!!!!
I'd be inclined to request a meeting with their inspector and demand they appear too so you can discuss the situation and explain the reasons why you think the section 59 ticket is unreasonable on this occasion. It seems like you may be known to them for dicking about in your car, and eating a little humble pie might possibly get you let off if you're prepared to aplogise and keep your nose clean in future. Also, how did you act while the coppers were booking you, because politeness will get you a long way. Act the ar*e with coppers at the side of the road and they will throw the book at you - give a polite response and they may listen to any explanation you might have.
But... I'm guessing you don't do politeness to coppers much in Essex. Last edited by Stig; 13-06-09 at 11:10 AM. |

Re: I need some hellp please!!!!
On another point, why is the standard of written English is so damned poor amongst the younger generation? Do you kids not get taught how to spell simple words like 'again' 'heard' 'tyres' and 'explain'? Is it down to bad teaching or just a general CGAF attitude from the kids?
When I was employing people I'd read their CVs very carefully to look for bad grammar and spelling; if it was anywhere near as bad as the OP's then the CV would go straight in the bin. The wholesale destruction of the English language really annoys me. |
