Guys.. I can't find any words to describe how I feel.
Yesterday morning I was travelling to work at 08:30 when I noticed a cop car came from nowhere right up my ass end. They followed me for about a mile before blue lighting me. I wasn't wearing a seat belt so obviously thought I was going to get a fixed penalty and the points that go with it. They asked me to step out the car and proceeded to lecture me on how dangerous it is to drink behind the wheel. (Absolutely no mention of safety belt that i wasnt wearing.) I explained to them that i only took a sip of milk thast i had just purchased from the shop. He said drinking anything behind the wheel is as dangerious as using a mobile fone. I could have quite easily lost it with them both but thought.. No keep cool, don’t give them any mouth, and just get myself off to work.
Anyway.. I told them to shove the fixed penalty I’ll go to court; one cop said "that’s ok.. There’s 2 of us and only 1 of you who's the court going to believe" ?
Upon reflection I wish I had took the fixed penalty and paid my £30 government initiated scam.
My question to the forum is.. Does anyone have any experience or could give advise regarding this type of offence? Is this defendable or should I just give it up?
Thanks in advance
