    Also, if you were actually pulled over for this offence and not caught on camera then you WILL have to pay it unless you dont agree with the speed. Their theory will be: "You know you that you were pulled over so you know you were fined".....

    a friend of mine tried to get off a ticket once based on a technical error. colour of car was wrongly stated. in the end, he just paid up as the cost of fighting it was not worth the trouble.

    ... also wouldn't any court hearing be held in the SI where the ticket was issued?

    Closest court to where the alleged offence took place.

    I'm not a legal type but find this interesting. If the date's wrong doesn't this just make it easier to find an excuse why you were somewhere else and couldn't have possibly been speeding?

    Well with this particular offence the guy was pulled over so they got his drivers licence and they spoke to the guy, ive had to much to dink to give you an indepth answer...... When I worked for MOJ these types are fines are pretty much impossible to get off....

    Would it get challenging if the rider couldn't produce a licence? Still find it interesting that a cop can just change a ticket. Does that not mean they could send me a ticket for an offence I did (say) last year and just change the date to suit? Same principle.

    Yeah, get what your saying... I guess if you were fined for not producing a licence then you'd definately have grounds to disoute!

    As you where travelling along a straight piece of road, where was the other car?
    Was the mufti car coming towards you? Where was it in relation to the other car?

    Be happy it wasn't for 136... Now I know why, the lower the SH number, the more crappy the road.

    I believe you can apply to have it moved to a court nearer you (can't remember if you have to plead guilty or not, to get it moved) - but don't know the details in terms of what you can have moved. Did this on my other offence.

    Yes you can transfer a charge on a guilty plea. This is still an instant fine however and wont become a court hearing until the person involved elects to defend the charge, (which would suggest they have no intention of pleading guilty to transfer the matter to a closer court).

    Onus of proof is on the defendant in traffic charges - the cops just need to say you are guilty, and lo and behold, there you are, a menace to society and deserve everything you get and more.
    Real crimes, the cops have to provide evidence, but this does not apply.
    Since you got pulled over, they could always get the cop to identify you in court as a witness. This is not necessary as cops never lie or make mistakes, so you must be guilty if they say so. Pay up and consider it a donation to the Labour Party reelection fund

    i would go to court

    if the addy and the date are all incorrect you have to get off it as you wernt there that day or time ,were you

    if it saves you 20 points isnt it worth the cost of the lawyer
    after all if the points didnt exist at all how much money would slow us down

    Personally i dont believe the officers in this country should be able to change a ticket after its issued ,
    as you cant change the log book in a truck and they can ping you weeks later just by looking back through it

    Good argument for your lawyer

    Maybe everyone should go changing documents just for the hell of it at a later date
    some people do and look where they end up .
