Producer 'Ticket'

[booksy]

I was recently stopped for not wearing a seat belt, the officer gave me a telling off and then this ticket to produce my doc's at the local Police station. On looking at the ticket when the police left, I noticed that the address he put on the ticket is not the place where he stopped me, which was on private land and now for the life of me I can not find the ticket and I must produce my doc's by this coming Sunday the 23rd. What shall I do.

just go and produce them and tell them you lost the slip

Go to the police station that you nominated with your documents and explain.

Your documents will still be recorded so you will have satisfied the terms of the 'producer'.

Make sure you get a copy so that you can prove you produced in time.

What sort of private land was you stopped on? Had you been followed off the public highway?

[booksy]

Thanks for the promt replies. I was stopped in the grounds of a large Private block of flats.

[booksy]

sorry ! Yes I was followed off a public Road.

Nothing to do directly with your question, booksy, which Ethel and NORMAN have answered very succinctly. I also note that you are not trying to say that you in some way exempt from producing your documents because you were stopped on private land.

However, beware of your understanding (at least for motoring matters) of �private land�. The law describes areas to which the public has �unfettered access� as �public roads� for the purposes of the various road traffic acts. This is regardless of who owns or maintains them. Car parks at supermarkets and the like are good examples of this. Unless the area where you were followed is gated and has access restricted in some way it would almost certainly be interpreted as a public road for motoring purposes, and all the motoring laws will apply.
