hi there new to the site probably posted in the wrong section (sorry in advance)

Got stopped Saturday night , a marked police car with 2 officers , pulled out behind me and followed me for 2 miles then pulled me over , asked what the speed limit was down the road they were watch , I said 40mph and he said what were you doing , I replied 40mph (maybe 44 -45) he then pulled a speed gun off the floor and it read 69mph , I then said that must be wrong or that wasn’t my car , and asked to see a picture of my car, he then said there is no video . then went on to tell me that his gun was great no "some cheap shit from down the market " and both officer tried to give me a fixed notice of 3 points and a fine , as I was not speeding I said no , then it went on even like it was in a shop like he was trying to sell me a ticket , no thanks I said he then told me that I didn’t want to hassle of going to court and paying lots of money , this is totally unfair and not right , I believe the speed gun was a lti 20/20 . If this goes to court and he doesn’t have a video of my car. How is this proof could be anybody’s car for all I know. He then went on to tell me that my first speed was a 89 mph. please i come from a redlight were he was parked say 100 meters up then road i would have to be on a motorbike to hit that speed in that time . Why do they lie and try and cheat you

The opinion of two police officers is adequate. They do not need any other corroboration.

And what paperwork did they give you,? Any. ? a Producer, what. Did you show them your driving licence or anything. Regards Peter

Hi peter I showed them nothing and received a producer. I will have to fight this because I will receive 6 points and lose my driver license because intill 4 weeks I only have a 6 point licence. How unlucky. plus i will lose my job ,

Hi,

To fight this situation you will probabaly need a good (read expensive) solictor. If you do get 6 points and you licence is revoked under the new drivers rules you can apply for you new licence straight away and re-take your tests.
It depend swhy you need a licence for you job, for transport if you got a moped/125 motorbike you could be back on the road in a few weeks (time for licence and CBT). It would take a while longer to redo the tests but not forever and could be cheaper than a solictor
