Im not sure I filled out the above exact because I actually received an FPN at the scene but I think you will all get the jist.
I was caught by a mobile camera along with quite a few others doing 40 up a 30mph hill. I honestly don't believe I was doing 40 but was probably doing more than 30. I was given a FPN by the officer at the scene but didn't give him my licence. When I got home I noticed that he has got the date wrong. It reads on 06/10/06 at 1308 hrs etc but this date is 10 months in the future. He should have put 06/01/06 but he has signed/dated it correctly at the bottom. Incidentally he has also got my car wrong, its a vectra not astra. Numberplate is correct
I don't see how I can be accused of doing something that hasn't even hapened yet. I did put my signature against the request only item.
I was thinking of copping the 3 points and even went to the station tonight but the girl said are u sure you don't want to check it out with a solicitor.
Do you think Ive got a good case to argue in court. My worry is they will realise their mistake and just change it to the correct date claiming the slip rule (Can they do this for the date?) and ill get more than 3 points.
Your urgent advise would be welcome as Ive only got 3 days to surrender my licence or ask for a hearing.
