Stopped for speeding

HEADRAT · 16 Dec 2010 at 09:09

Well I guess it was going to happen sooner or later, had my license since I was 17 and I'm now 40 and never had a ticket, got stopped this morning for 34 in a 30 limit so 3 points and £60 fine

Just noticed though that the ticket doesn't have my registration number on it, is it still a valid ticket?

To be honest I'm probably just gonna take it like a man and take the points and fine, just a bit annoyed with myself to be honest

The Copper was a solid bloke though, said he hated give out tickets and told the story how he got stopped for speeding recently

No option to do the speed awareness course? 34 in a 30 seems really tame to me.

No, I did say that I'd never had a ticket etc. but he didn't seem to want to budge on giving me a ticket.

Well due to an administrative cockup by the Police I'm going to get my £60 fine refunded and my license returned to me with no points

Thats a bit of a result? What had they cocked up?

Apparently they Central Ticket Office never received the ticket from the Police Station so there will be no further action.

Don't think it was the fact the reg number wasn't there, just they ticket office never got the ticket from the Officer involved.

I surrendered my license but apparently the Officer involved never did anything with his copy of the ticket so there was no offense for the Central Ticket Office to process.
