    Exactly (except doing 121kph - but lets not go there), which is stupid and the cop should be paying up

    He was punished for speeding, thats what gets you license revoked on the road side, therefor he has seen punishment from the fact he was doing 121.

    I thought it was 41 over for a roadside licence pluck. Is it now 21?

    no but it is ecessive speed that is the basis for that pluck, hence he has already been punished for his excessive speed excessivaly

    It seems to be far too excessive to pluck his licence for excessive speed when his excessive speed is not in excess of the amount it's stipulated that he must exceed the speed limit by.
    Excessive enthusiasm by the Orifficer, I think.

    Throwing multiple charges at someone seems to be the modus operandi for some in the blue shirts. The "shotgun effect" and see what charges will stick...
    They can also play ball with negotiations as well "you plead guilty to this charge, and we will dismiss all the others"...

    Well written Funkfly. Beautiful thing indeed to see such an outcome for you, good on you for sticking to your principles and putting up a good fight till the end! I empathise with the huge debt you've incurred though, here's hoping you can get reimbursment somehow.
