Getting off a ticket

[jade]

Ok to cut a long story short I only have 2 mins to use this computer,
A mate of mine recently got a decent ticket for doing 184 on the motorway in a car
before you get all ancy and flame away, he is well older than me, and it was out of character for him to do this, he only did it - then went back to the speed limit, was also very late at night with no other cars around, cept the cop
Anyway, to cut a long story short, the cop got his birth date wrong on the ticket, can this help him in anyway ??? Can somebody please direct me to a link outlining how the legislation works so he can read through it
cheers
im looking in the direction of the people that helped skidmark - FOR THE LINK to the legislation

At 84kmh over the limit, the cock is already pretty far up his ass. How far wrong was the birthdate?

Don't think he'll have much of a chance, but maybe if he talks really nicely in court about it being out of character and has few previous offences to show otherwise he might get off better than if he had had a big ticket before.

at 84k over, all your mate has probably received is a traffic offence notice, that is only a notice of intention to be charged. unless he was arrested that is.

SHort answer.. NOPE

Do the crime, do the time :angry2:

Tell your mate to harden up and face it like a man, he was caught doing 184km!!:argh:
Forget about errors on the form

My 2 cents worth :dodge:

Agreed! why exactly are you asking? Do you think this forum is full of people that are protesting against the speeding laws?

Tough $hit!

and he would have had a better chance to get out of it...:buggerd:

That depends on what he was driving. 184 isn't that fast, it's only just over 100mph.

184 isn't that fast, it's only just over 100mph.

Yup, I was just sat here thinking the same :blink:

Ooooo, hang about... he was in a car... lock him up

Nearer a 110mph -and the 'speed limit' is 60mph:whistle:

:lol: Touche

So you guys seem to have far more respect for traffic law over there than we have in the UKs system since the move to introduce cameras and remove traffic officers.

I NEVER exceed the limit in built up areas (30/40mph limits) but in the right places I prefer to rely on my 20+ years riding/driving experience to judge a suitable speed

:lol: Touche

You guys seem to have far more respect for traffic law over there than we have.

The roads are a damn sight worse over here (even the motorways) and the driver training is not as rigorous - and a LOT of people are uninsured and driving cars waaay out of their league (in my experience since i moved here, that is). I don't think it's a respect for the law, as much as a respect for the fact that when there's a stuff up, there are generally more consequences.

I never really worried about the speed in the UK unless there were traffic cameras around, cos the roads would let me get away with my mistakes. Having said that, I never used to go too far over (I think 90mph was about the most I would do on a motorway and generally 40mph in most 30 zones) Dad being a cop and all that!

There's also less disposable income here to pay your traffic fines....! (Dave's just got one that we have to find $120 for....*sigh*)

all g it was just a question, he doesnt think he will get off..
he has a court appearance coming up and I reckon he will get 6 months and an 8 hundyish fine..
he is 29 and hasnt had a ticket since he was 20 odd so maybe they will go easy on him, close the thread nuff said..
p.s nissan sylvia with a 180 cutout lmao

Ummmm....maybe he could blame the Nissan factory for the speed cut off not working. I mean it really isn't his fault eh? :wait:

Maybe it did? Would explain the speed he got pinged for... :laugh: ...on the motorway, nobody else around (so he thinks..), so nails it till the cutout kicks in, then slows down again, and :Police::doh::angry2:

He is older so it is OK for him to do 184kmph.
It was out of character so it is OK for him to do 184kmph.
The cop wrote out the wrong date of birth, so it is OK for him to do 184kmph.

Well - you can see why he would think that - it makes up a lot of the thread count on this forum

But in answer to his question - sorry - your "mate" is :done: well and proper. He better get used to walking or taking the bus.

[The Pastor]

guys dont be so stupid, lots and i mean lots of us have done over 184 on a public road.

Heaps of people have. get over it, speed doesnt kill, its the sudden stop that does.
