I knew I had read this somewhere but I didn't realise that it only applied where you are the driver of a vehicle or where the police say they suspect you of anti-social behaviour - e.g. participating in a climate camp protest in the City of London :D
 
Chris,

I have spoken to my colleague and need a chat with you to check a few things. I'd however advise we don't do this on here. I have msn in trust so drop me a line.
 
I could be getting a £600 fine and 3 points.

Don't worry about the fine getting bigger. If you lose and get the bigger fine, plead poverty and arrange to pay it off at a rate you wont even notice - like 50p a week.

They wont even check your finances - they'll take your word for it as it costs them more to do the checks than the fine will probably be.

I'm sorry but where did you hear that?
From the same people who bought you "Students don't pay tax because they are students"?
You can make an offer of what you like, however the courts will indeed check your financial situation and you'll be paying it back at a much higher rate than that.
