SECTION 59 - HAD MY CAR TAKEN OFF ME BY POLICE
I took this from FiestaTurbo forums. Just thought id share it with you lot. I had my car taken off me last Saturday 6th Jan, heres what happened :-
I cant beleive what has just happened - had my car taken off me - section 59.
Driving down into town and i drive in past mcdonalds were there are about 13 cars parked go round the corner and a police officer waves me down.
"Did you know that this is a pedestreanised zone? Blah Blah!" So anyway he tells me that [ERRR] not suppose to drive down this area - which i was unaware of because people do it all the time - countless number of cars passed us whilst he had pulled me. So anyway because i got a section 59 last year - 1 in Jan and 1 in April and had my car taken off me, but now i have a new car. I was under the impression that section 59s are placed on the vehicle.
How can he take my car off me for driving into town which i thought i was allowed to? £105 to get my car back to. Discriminaton because im in a modified car....
I have now written a letter to the local Cheif Supt which I will post on here later, just want to see peoples views first...
