Hi guys,
Going to tell the events as best I can and hope to get any help I can. Car was parked on public road. Quite frosty and windows needed scraped. I scraped windscreen area which was most of drivers side. Drove the car about ten or so meters to my property where I had planned to go in to pick up something and leave the car to heat up. At this point my door was opened by a guy who started shouting at me "you shouldn't be driving, you can't see properly" or something along those lines. I was so scared. He had a mate with him and they had clearly had had a drink. Next thing is they both drag me out of my car and won't let me move and one pins me against my car. Along the road from nowhere I had come from a cars hazards are flashing. They look at me and both decide I have somehow hit the vehicle. This is impossible by the way! They then decide I've been drinking which is also impossible. One of them then phones the police while the other physically and aggressively holds me so I can't move and also takes my keys out of the ignition. The police turn up about 15 mins later with sirens and blue lights all blazing. The two drunks tell them their story and leave. Police manage to get a hold of the guy who's cars lights are flashing. I presume they tell him that I have hit his car and ask him if there is any damage. I hear him saying there no damage as far I can see. Police tell him to call tomorrow if damage can be seen in daylight. (Remember I've not even driven past the car). Police ask me to get in the back of the police car. One officer says "because you have been in an rta I'm required to breathalyse you". I said "I've not been involved in a rta". His reply was "is there any medical reason you can't give a breathalyser sample". Me, "no". Him, "is there any reason you don't want to give a breathalyser sample". Me, "no". So we then go through the process and all clear. They then get in the front of the police car and one says I'm getting charged with "dangerous driving". Intimates it will be probably be £60 and 3 points. At this point I just want out of the car and go. Whilst in the car they inform me they have no paperwork with them to fill out. I say I'll pick it up on way home from work one night. They agree. Anyway I never went to pick up anything. About 3 days ago I've received a letter from Procurator Physical saying he has been informed that I have driven my car in a dangerous manor and has decided he wants to fine me £200 and add 3 penalty points to my licence. To let you know one of the drunks is a current Police Officer and the other is a retired Police Officer. Not sure what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank, Barry |
