Son stopped by police/over driving limit

Re: Son stopped by police/over driving limit

Have wrote to the chief of the constabulary, not that it will change anything, but a fixed penalty notice should have been issued at the time of the incident and instead they came to the arrangement of the speed awareness young driver course and only given a leaflet of the course.

The proof is on the letter as well sent from the Fixed penalty support unit that they were aware he was offered a course.

Son is just hoping to have that opportunity to take the course, as previously offered. He know's he must obide by the law, and I feel this would be beneficial for him as well.

Turds also have a similar self-adhesive property.

Re: Son stopped by police/over driving limit

For curiosity, I also signed up and posted in the police special site, did not go into too much details as such, but wondered what they had to say and as expected they stick together.

£75 per month is £900 per year.

There again, Direct Line is part of RBS.

LOL, well i must have it wrong then, checked his premiums and its defo £75 which works out more in a lump sum due to paying by premiums, not sure .

Re: Son stopped by police/over driving limit

Don't know how much his insurance will be raised to though, so that is something we have to deal with as well, at the moment he pays full comp with full protection, my son the main driver and my hubby to help him out went on as 2nd driver and that worked out about £800 a year.

Wonder if Direct line will accept a lump sum separately, so he could maybe carry on with the standard instalments of £75 a month?

Re: Son stopped by police/over driving limit

I would see what they say on the specialist site Di.

We know quite a lot about debt but they obviously have more knowledge about the motoring/legal side of things.

My gut instinct just tells me that 'something isn't right.'

Hi Pixie and thank you.

Yes that is my feeling too honey.

As well as posting on the other site, my nephew who also works for traffic but with the local force to me is looking into matters as well, I don't get to see him that often but he did say he will check some stuff, just in case. xx

Re: Son stopped by police/over driving limit

Just have to be careful where we tread at the moment, as we do not want to jeopardise anything, as they seem to have their own rules of law to themselves as well with that force.

I know it will save a long trip to one of their own venues, and the fuel about 75 to get there and back maybe more, he would have had to pay almost £100 for the course.

Re: Son stopped by police/over driving limit

But the traffic plod would not have known whether the revenue targets had been met.

Re: Son stopped by police/over driving limit

Over on the site our Ames posted, I have left details there as well and they think he "may have a case" on this actual part of the offer of the Speed accessment because the officers should have then known if eligible or not, and then should have issued a Fixed penalty notice which they did not do.
