See I got pulled when I was away at Uni and boxed in by a marked and an unmarked car becuase they believed me to be causing undue stress and alarm to people when nobody was about apart from them and I wasn't even driving stupidly...

The official line was "excessive speed" and they alleged I was doing 80 in a 40. When they said this I laughed and got told it wasnt funny becuase I wouldn't pass a driving test like that.

I pointed out that the section of road I am alleged to have done this on is narrow, winding and covered in traffic islands. It is no more than a quarter mile long and as I drive a 1.3 tappet monster engined Fiesta MK5 I found this to be rather amusing as it's nigh on impossible to get that speed from that car starting from a stationary position over that distance.

I was given the option of 3 points and a fine or a Section 59 even though I denied I was speeding. They radio'd through the Section 59 but I never recieved the paperwork... Now I am lead to believe they dont have to give you any papers and that it is just on the PNC but is there any way of finding out if I actually have one on record? I am treating it like I do and driving extra cautiously to make sure they haven't the slightest reason for giving me a talking to again.

Having been spoken to by the police since when I was pulled over at a road block for random drink drive testing they mentioned nothing but I am unsure as to whether they ran checks on the car and myself at that point or not.

Cheers
