No offence meant about the cops but hopefully you can understand my anger at this.
Went to court on Friday to try and get this resolved but the clerk was in court and was supposed to ring me back - needless to say he didn't!
Hence the reason why I went for a solicitor, in fact he asked me if I had surrendered the insurance cert to the court, I said I hadn't as it was the only proof of my innocence that I have, his response was "Good, the courts are notorious for losing papers", opens your eyes a bit doesn't it?
Thanks for the response, appreciated.
Got to say, if I ever get pulled again and given a producer I will be checking the details carefully.
Been driving for 26 years, in all that time I have only ever had 1 parking ticket issued to me by the local council, and that was when I smashed up my old Carlton and the wreckage was sitting outside the house waiting inspection by the insurers - NCP office told me that if the car was crash damaged I didn't need a permit, didn't stop one of their guys giving me a ticket though, although that was cancelled on appeal.
Other than that I have a clean record - something I would like to keep!
