I got a letter from XXXXXXXXX Police force suggesting someone has alleged that at X date Y time, I did something dangerous. I rang the number spoke to plod, and he would NOT tell me what I was supposed to have done.

Now I sincerely and genuinely do not know what I have allegedly done cant remember being at the place stated, wouldn't know the time as my car has no clock, and don't know if it would have been me or my missus driving.

Pointed out to Plod that I was NOT signing the NIP until I was told the full details, and got some incredibly mad story about additional witnesses coming forward.

I think i am being set up. please help, I have decided to not sign anything until they tel me what I have done. Plod does not like this. What is the worst that they can do if I cant tell them?

how can they do this based on some civilian complaint? i cant remember anything at all dodgy, so nothing stand out in my mind. what can i get for dangerous compared to not fessing up?

they told me dangerous or careless but it may not come to that when they check statements. bt im scared to fill out form incase they have lots of witnesses. funny tho, he said no photos or vids, only verbal from civvy. so no cops, no accident no nothing, i dont gettit. What are they trying to do.

Cop said i had to name the driver - how can this be right, i dont know who was driving. i cant complete the form legit.

i need to know what dangerous means if it comes to points will it be better to refuse to name?

i dont see a good way out of thisw. obv copper has decided to do me for somethign so what wouldyou do?
All I can think is to reduce damge to min.

V annoyed that this has happened after half million miles driven.

streaky- haha. actually made me laugh for a second anyway.
Thanks all the same guys. the nip said dangerous and nothing else other than alleged.

that hm website looks very promising i need toread more.

they cant be allowed to get away with this.

from what iread does it mean that what the nip said is really not enough? i though at the time i first read the nip that something ws wrong with it. even said to plod 'what is this all about, how can i know where i was if you wont tell me what ive done'. he didnt want to tell me anyhting and said it was my job to convince him that i am innocent of the allegation once he had my confession.

does this worry anyone else here>?

one other thing they sent a 7 day wonder to my address but it says driver of vehicle XXXXXX. how can i produce the license of the driver if i don't know who it is? do I ignore the producer or let them copy my details down. car is fully insured btw.

I understood that producers could only be given at the time. Is there no reference to any laws on it? E.g., "This notice is issued under Section XXX of the Road Traffic ZZZ Act 19XX".


def no acts listed, except in the bit tha says "to the police station staff". im going to produce docs but not sign anything maybe cross out driver and write owner???? will be writing nice letter after the 14 day limit. think this is very good approach.

still cant remember what it meant to have happened. crazy.

littel update. checked the parlimentary acts and hort2 producer thing is only relevant if stopped at roadside by police officer. so wont be producing documents. em. there is also a serious typing error on the paperwork to do withthe date eg ambiguous non calendar date. they make me laugh.
