LEGAL HELP PLEASE

Post by sammclean23 »

Hi,

I have just recieved a fine and 3 points for 'texting on my phone whilst driving' when in fact I glanced at my phone when it lit up when recieving a call - I DID NOT PICK IT UP NOR ANSWER THE PHONE AT ALL.

The officer would not let me argue with his decision and oddly, he did not ask for my license, insurance or anything.

What can I do? Am I breaking the law by glancing at my phone?

Extremely frustrated with the officer and it seems really wrong that he can accuse me of something he clearly not see me doing - even if I was using the phone, which I was not.

Please help I really appreciate any replies

contact your operator (02 orange etc.) ask them for the list of calls made and recieved etc. if your luckey it might show that you didnt answer the call, if so take it to the police station and tell the wankers where to go.

they seem to be stopping alot of people lately with the build up 2 christmas, i and a few friends have been stopped in the last few days and all they have done is gone over the cars with a fine tooth come, silly bastards cudnt find anything thou.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
