Work this out....

Hi,
Whilst I've now had a clean DL for 2 years now..I was on TEN points for 3 years. (that said I may have been caught out..over Easter..just after dropping off some Nav data for a moderator in Blackpool!!)
6 Years back I was flashed by a Gatso, one Autumn Sunday morning..on the M6 in Cheshire. 60 mph, in a 50 limit (road works).
I took the £30 fine & the 3 points. BUT whilst it was ME driving in MY car, above the posted limit...I wasn't there!!! I was told by a Traffic cop a few months later that I should have fought the case..as it would've been kicked out of court.
Anyone care to guess why??

Cheers
DNN

No idea so please tell! I didn't think fixed penalties were available that far back though?

Well..........
It was a Sunday....when the clocks were put back to GMT.
It was quite an old Gatso...
Gatso's (then) did not allow for GMT/BST switch over (according to the Traffic cop...who was showing me a video of me 'making progress' above the posted limit..a few months later)

I didn't bother fighting it (at the time) as my DL was totally clean....3 days later I got flashed again (near my home) & was hit with another £30.00 & 3 points.

Fixed penalties have been applied for at least 5 years, I can testify that!!
Crying or Very sad

I have considered that the Traffic Cop may have been taking the P a little & just wanted me to feel even worse!!

Just found my DL.
Convicting Court Code:1173. (I assume this is in Cheshire).
Offence CodeSP50.
Date of offence....................29/10/00.

Gatsos have been around for a year or two before.

Surely we have a plod or two on the Forum who can verify if I was being wound up??!!
