I had avery similar thing...well i wasnt being quite as silly mine was a genuine mistake...the handbrake DID get stuck Actaully it wasnt even that silly, i turned across a 'no turn' sign.

Copper pulled me over, told me i drive like a prick etc... just took my name, address, gave me a producer then said you havent got away with this, you ARE going to court, expect a summons for dangerous driving asap. I didnt think you could do this without proper rights being read/explnation etc...

Shit it for about 6 months...about 2 years ago now so i wouldnt worry at all imo.
