Two bikes booked on one reading??!
its worth fighting

[hospitalfood]

we were hoping for that answer....

how ?

Well its gotta suck being you at the moment
Sorry to hear you lost your license, did they take the bikes, i believe they can if your doing more than 40 k over
Unfortunatly it could happen to most of us at one time or another. Three months wont take long, still sucks though

[hospitalfood]

didnt take the bikes, mate came and got us with his truck.
we need good legal advice.......due to the fines it would be good to have cheap good legal advice, or even free.

if it was just a fine, and demerits, then I'd say pay up and forget it. But the loss of licence part may make it wortyh fighting.

I beleive that the radar reads the largest and/or the fasest target, but will only lock onto a single target. The cop will have to say which one was the target, the other will only be an estimate.

Also check your tickets. Has the cop put down the same time for each? He should have, but may have put down seperate times to make it appear that you were stopped at different times. For a potential loss of licence get a lawyer rather than listen to any advice that I, or anyone else, may give.

on the back of the ticket there should be info:

You should write to the enforement authority if you wish to do any of the following things;
a. Raise a matter concerning the circumstances of the offence for consideration by the enforement authority; or
b.Deny liability for the offence and request a court hearing; or
c. Admit liability for the offence, but make written submissions to the court.

Think about this - if you got up in court, and stood in front of a judge, and told him it's not fair because there's only one reading for two people, how do you think he will react? Were you riding together? Were you both going about the same speed? I'd say you're screwed. Do the crime, etc...

Can i borrow the Buell??.....

why do you need a tractor for are you going to plant out thee back yard

[hospitalfood]

Im not really thinking about right and wrong, just technicalities ??

[Subike]

I do believe that they can take up to three readings at one time.
so you may be out of luck
then you were anyway, by taking the risk of exceeding the limit

in my experiance the jp cant see past the pric in the uniform after all thay see no reason for the pric in uniform to be wrong quoter what quoter

There is UK case law on this. Unless the officer can 100% identify which bike was speeding the case will fail. The most he could do you for is exceeding 100kmh.

Fight it.
