i was recently stopped for speeding, i was given a fixed penalty ticket. I did have the cruise control set to 80mph on a duel carrigeway. the ticket states that i was doing 120 mph plus, i asked the officer how he came to this conclusion only to be told he had recorded evidence which he refused to show me.
he told me that he had to go in excess of 145 mph to catch me,is that legal without blue lights?
the officer then started to read me my rights on driving whilst using a mobile phone,he got halfway through before he realised it was the wrong caution.
he then put two different dates on the fixed penalty ticket (is this leagal on this type of document) then to cap it all when producing my docs i was outside of the seven days (this was due to me going to work at 5am not getting home till 8.30 pm and our local police station shutting at 8pm) so they would not accept payment of the ticket, when i said to the lady at the police station that i didnt think dates mattered as the ticket had two different dates on it, she replied "that is just a mistake" she then asked me what date it was that i was stopped i told her that i couldnt remember, she told me not to be so silly as i was the one that was stopped i must know the date, i politely replied that the police officer was also there and it was quite obvious that he didnt know the date either, How do i stand on this scenario????
Also, if you were travelling at that speed you would not have received a FPN you would have been given an NIP (notice of Intended Prosecution) and if the case is proved you are certainly looking at a ban and fine
