Right thought id give you all a little update as the case is moving along a bit......

After recieving the summons which told me the hearing would be on 28/08/07 (Tuesday next week!!).....

Went to see a solicitor on Friday who gave me a bit of advice (£53 worth apparently). Basically told me to write 2 letters, 1 to the CPS and another to the Law Courts....

The letter to the CPS contained my plea, also requested some information which if i hadnt spoke to him would have had no idea was even available!! This comprises of "Prosecution Witness Statements" and amongst others a "Schedule of Unused Material" which as i understand is any evidence they may have that will not be used in court!! This letter was faxed, with a copy posted 1st class.

The 2nd letter to the Courts again stated my plea, also requested the hearing be adjourned due to the short length between the date the summons was recieved and the hearing date! This letter was faxed c/w a copy of the above letter! Again both were posted 1st class.

Today after a couple of calls to the court, i managed to get the hearing adjourned so i will now await a revised date!! Gives me a bit more time to see what the CPS send me and also take some pictures of the scene using my car and ideally a Ford Galaxy to create a true reconstruction!

Seriously what a load of effort for something i quite clearly havent done! The solicitor i saw was disgusted with the way i have been treated, and totally shocked to hear they had taken my phone!! He was saying that at the minute he pretty much only deals with these incidents (being a traffic offence specialist) and this is the first time he has heard of such a thing happening!!

The crazyness continues!
