Morning everyone,

To cut a long story short, my other half got stopped this morning at 06.40 doing 40 in a thirty, running late for her train. This is very rare for her as she is normallly very good indeed.

I've tried to think of all types of get out routes, but to no availe. The only one left, I think, would be the cirtification on the Radar/Laser gun used. Therefore my question is:
Does the gun need to be certificated on a daily basis to prove it is working correctly?

Any advice would be good.

Thanks in advance.

Pete

He just said that would be £60 and 3 points. Has to take papers to the local station! Does that help?

I don't think she was given the choise! Just confirmed, no choise was given between fixed pen or court! He just said that a fine and 3 points was not the end of the world!!! What about the certs for the guns? An angle there?

True, but if there is an error that means that she can avoid it, we should try. If more people tried it they might realise that the british motorist is not such a pushover! However, I do see where you are coming from.

Ian, thanks for the advice and people like me must grate on you I'm sure, but I just feel we should try if there is an angle, or would you say it's just not worth it? I have just been informed the the officer has spelt the name of the village wrong on the paper work! Does that help?

Thanks everyone for the sound advice. It looks like she will be taking the fine and 3 points. It does seem the easy and cheapest option in the long run!!!

Thanks again.
