Slip Rule

[Cockernee]

Let me be clear, I am not saying that I was not speeding. I am a little miffed of the circumstances, but hey that's life.

The road name is misspelt on the conditional offer, so is it a pure admin error under the slip rule and take your 3 points sonny, or is there a technicality here?

I would normally be happy to accept the points, it was purely the circumstances of it that has made me want to defend this if at all possible.

Your thread title answers your question.

Gosh, even I know 'de minimis non curat lex'.

Won't make a difference if it's spelt wrong.

You have 2 options;

1 - Accept you were speeding, take the ticket, pay the fine, suck up the points and move on.

2 - Plead not guilty. However, if your only defence is that the road name is spelt incorrectly it is not a defence. The road name will simply be amended at court.

I got done once for speeding at 66mph in a 70mph zone, the slip was accepted as a typo as they meant 96 but had fat fingers. I knew it, everyone involved knew it was a typo, that's just the way it works.

There was a law student called Rex
Who had very small organs of sex
When charged with exposure
He replied with composure
De minimis non curat lex.

3 points it is then.
