Hi so my friend I have had an argument about money he owes me. I threatened to take him to court and in return he threatened to get my driving license taken away from me. I'm not taking him to court as I just said that to scare him. I am paranoid he will still report me.
This is his accusation: He is threatening to report me for speeding and letting passengers not have a seat belt on (only him as he was in back which doesn't detect people not wearing their seat belt. At the time I was unaware of him not wearing his seat belt even though I understand I should have been aware if he was wearing it or not). I don't recall speeding when he was in the car. The only witnesses are him and his girlfriend and I know them both as friends. The last time he was in the car when I was driving was about a month or 2 months ago. My main question is what would happen if I were to get reported? Will I get a ticket for speeding and allowing passengers to not wear seat belts whilst driving. If all witnesses are in the car at the time, will a court accept them as witnesses? By the way, I have never had a ticket or points for any driving offence before and have been driving for over 2 and a half years.

I assume one of those roads past a school, with Danger Children Crossing sign and 20mph limit when red lights flashing. Never seen one of those. Maybe they haven't reached Barnsley yet... We have two in the town where I live. Interesting! We have many with amber flashing lights. Surely if they are red, like they are at a railway crossing, you have to stop? Flashing red? -------------------- |

QUOTE (Jlc @ Thu, 18 Jan 2018 - 17:01) Hey, if you win your 'friend' would pay your legal fees... £135 seems hardly worth it though. When did that ever stop the private parking companies, who are issuing claims by the thousand for similarly small amounts? |

Well indeed but to pursue a ‘friend’ for just over £100 seems OTT but there’s a back story I’m sure!
PPC’s have their own motives - and it seems very profitable. -------------------- RK=Registered Keeper, OP=Original Poster (You!), CoFP=Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty, NtK=Notice to Keeper, NtD=Notice to Driver
PoFA=Protection of Freedoms Act, SAC=Safety Awareness Course, NIP=Notice of Intended Prosecution, ADR=Alternative Dispute Resolution PPC=Private Parking Company, LBCCC=Letter Before County Court Claim, PII=Personally Identifiable Information, SAR=Subject Access Request Private Parking - remember, they just want your money and will say almost anything to get it. |

Depends, if it's a matter of principle, some would pursue it. I know someone who got ripped off for around £150, she's on something like £300 a day but wants to pursue it as a matter of principle. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php
