Grovelling to the Courts

[peasea]

OK, I concur.

But I've had more sport shooting the rats at the dump - and THEY never quibled over my spelling.

Which dump was that? Wellington Central?
I've come across a few rats there in my time.

Hi RM,
No offence but you sound like you are whining and your spelling and grammar are not good.
Just state the facts, plead guilty and ask for the court to go easy on you. KISS principle applies. (keep it simple stupid)

Eg:
In regard to Infringement notice 123123123
Charge: exceeding speed limit of 100kmh.
I am writing to plead guilty to the charge of exceeding the speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour on the date.
I have no suitable excuse or reason for my actions and accept that I was completely in the wrong.
In deciding on my punishment I would greatly appreciate the court considering the following points.
1. The officer who issued the ticket acknowledged that I was not presenting any danger to anyone other than myself.
2. I have already lost my licence for the mandatory 28 days.
3. The road conditions were dry and clear, traffic was very light.
4. I have cooperated at all times with the police.
5. I have learned my lesson and will at all times in future ride to the legal limits and conditions.

Thanking you in advance
Yours sincerely
Dickheadonabike.

Or something like that, good luck anyway

What he said - they wont bother reading your original letter - it's too long and sucky

Aaah, nice one guys. Entertainment galore reading this thread. Sometimes I browse through KB and think: What a load of crap I've wasted the last hour reading. This thread falls into that category, however, it's made me laugh, so it hasn't been completely pointless.

If I was Hitcher, I'd probably have come up with some succinct and painfully smart barb concerning the "grammar" that was in that letter. Alas, I am not. So I will refrain from commenting on the 17 remaining grammatical 'gems' contained in the letter.

C'mon Hitcher, do your stuff.

Hitcher is currently away weeping and banging his head against a brick wall ...not only at the grammatical and spelling errors produced here before us, but also at the fact that some of those who chose to help our dear friend with his letter were equally as guilty of incorrect use of the English language. Mind you, they do say, "Those who can't do it, teach it."

A crackin' good read though nonetheless!

[Hitcher]

Hitcher has, until now, refrained from this thread. The Officer of the Court responsible for dealing with this letter should immediately recognise its intent. No doubt they will be well familiar with this genre of correspondence, written by toadying disingenuous fops, and treat it appropriately. Whether the spelling and grammar is "correct" should matter not a jot.

e979 is the offence code.
drg304 is the qid of the cop
crn is the offence number - Court Record Number. that is the number you quote in correspondence to the court

I know this cop... he is a good bugger too.. very thorough too, sorry to say... He is a Sergeant now...
