Thanks for your insider view though str8 jacket. good to hear from someone actualy in the system so to speek. thanks.

its worth kicking up a fuss about IMHO

so you just keep sending letters before the due date? is that the way ? or do you have to wait for your day in court? please tell!

Yes!! thats the way to go, to many people think they'll either fight it in court when you need to fight it with the issuing authority BEFORE it goes to court...

The reason I ask this is the first thing there gonna look at is that you were pulled over therefore you knew you were getting a ticket. You would have more luck if it was a speed camera fine. But there's no way you'd win anything based on no gender wrong DOB etc when you were pulled over. Sorry wish it were more promising for ya!

right that makes me feel better. i guess i'll write another letter advising i'm not happy with the outcome and i'd apprecaite they look into the matter in more depth and advise me excalty WHY the find the ticket still stands after looking at my facts/details.

i think i deserve more than a form letter to explain why i'm paying them money against a ticket for 'someone else'
cheers for that.

You were caught speeding but you think its unfair you got a ticket? Looking for a way out just cause the gender is wrong? Mate, I would pay even if they had my name wrong, you were caught, pay the ticket. The guy was only trying to keep the road safer for the rest of us

Ring the PIB 0800 105 777 and they can explain everything to you... BUt if they have your name correct, rego correct, address correct and DOB correct then your gonna have to pay...

11k's over?
Make us safer? Give me a break.
They should have been around Sat night when not one but two cretins overtook us on the wrong side of a roundabout and traffic islands.

Implications guys, but I undersatnd not all are fans of the constabulary.

to glegge for taking it on the chin though

**glegge** · 29th May 2006, 11:49

well after consideration, i think i'll write a letter saying 'why are you pursuing me when my details clearly do not match. please cease and desist' and 'do you have anything else apart from this useless document that does not identify me, to identify me as the driver?'

see what happens ay.
