None existing offence code entered on licence.

1: i paid for the licence. so technically, its mine. get a taxi and you pay for the SERVICE. got to the cinema and you pay TO WATCH the film. not to own the building. you get what you pay for. now stop tryin to be smart with something not related. it aint gonna work.

Well you didn't listen to reason, or work it out for yourself, so I thought a bit of flippant nonsense might tip the balance.

Clearly not - despite being utterly wrong, you appear to think that someone else can own your license but that you can own it "technically". Well then, "technically", you're being VERY stupid.

STFU.

STFU.

You're going to have to spell that one out, as I don't know what it means.

I don't want to waffle on so i'll make it short as possible.
In a momentarily lapse in concentrating on my speed whilst towing my caravan through a narrow village I received a Speeding fine for 38mph in 30mph zone. My first in 40yrs of careful and considerate driving.

Paid it and received return of licence and counterpart with the wrong code on it. Instead of SP30 it reads SP80 a none existing offence code.
I have told them as I did not want a 'Stop and produce' to accuse me of altering it.

Anyway the point is 'Technically' it's a wrong and none existing offence If there are any solicitors looking in have I a case for having the offence squashed on 'technical grounds' as is carried out in criminal courts?.

I would add I had no idea on receipt it was the wrong code it was an insurance company who said it's wrong Quote.... 'and if you haven't declared it on website insurers 'Convictions list' you will be driving without cover and if you have an accident they won't pay out'. end quote

So I was very close to driving illegally because of the wrongly entered information on my licence. you may gather I was searching for the best cover in the West on the Internet and bypassed several 'Convictions list as the code of SP80 did not show on four lists.

They have asked me to return it so they can alter it but I have refused until convinced the endorsement cannot or will not be removed altogether.

There you go - the voice of reason has spoken - the license does belong to you after all.

Funny how the people who hate speed cameras are those who have been, or think they might be, caught by them.

no chance of me getting caught m8ty
if it flashes me it goes asap

I'm not your "m8ty", and I sincerely hope that you "go asap".

The thing I'd like to know is this.

Most GATSOs are set to monitor & photograph vehicles after they've gone past, i.e. from behind.

A caravan would make it completely impossible to see who was driving.

Greengrass - if this is the case, and if you have a partner who also drives the car, why didn't you write back and say you were very sorry but you just couldn't remember who was driving?

 

[Softus]

That faint squeaking noise is the sound of greengrass kicking himself roundly, and repeatedly, in the nuts.

Actually, the real answer, almost certainly, is that he knew that it-was-a-fair-cop-I-dunnit-mate-you-got-me-bang-to-rights-I'll-come-quietly.

 

[Slogger]

no there is no such thing as a fair cop my illinformed m8ty

they are an intrusion on our right as a uk citizen to drive where and when we please

I beg to differ. It's a long-standing and widely-recognised figure of speech in the English language; although I realise this subject isn't your forte.

By way of an example, if you were arrested on the grounds of being inane, bigoted, racist, and generally quite pointless, it would be the fairest cop in the history of the kingdom.

Sadly, you advocating something repeatedly doesn't constitute good or valid advice. I note that you've adopted the "them and us" approach once more, when faced with something that you don't like. I'm mildly surprised that you haven't latched on to the fact that the inventor of the GATSO device is Dutch, and used that as an opportunity to spill the xenophobic contents of your spleen all over the topic.

It takes one to know one. BTW, the right that you claim - it doesn't exist, nor has it ever existed.

may all your problems be coal and iron

I'm not aware of having any problems. Even you, Slogger, are less than a shadowy pixel showing a faint echo of a blip on my highly-tuned problem radar.
