Have they been doing anymore recent inspections there?
i got one this year for overtaking an off duty police offer, he only spoke to me over the phone but said he was giving me one, i don't believe they actually have to hand you any paperwork either. Does anyone know this? Also can they issue one if they see you speeding when they are off duty. Does anyone know this?
Well they said to me that they were clamping down on it but judjing by the fact they never bothered to stp other people i highly doubt this and in my opinion he just said that to try and justify stopping me.
And last April i did have my car taken off me, i was speeding and an unmarked police car was behind me. But i hold my hands up for that and take it on the chin as it was my fault and i deserved what I got, but this time i didnt deserve it
ah so from the looks of it they don't cancel the previous even if you have your car confiscated until one year has expired. Would be interested to see if they can issue a speeding ticket and a section 59 like you said you got. Keep this thread updated, good luck
OK you obviously should not of been in there, so leave that fact out. But if you can get the other info to see if they have targeted you on purpose that would be interested.
