Tonnes of locus down here this time of year but no cowboys.
Bloody hell,shock,just had the officer call me and he said" i see the mistake on the location but am from Chichester stn not Bognor(4 miles away) and no sure of all the road names" i replied all Chichester cars have TOMTOM's fitted,not working, A to Z ?.Anyway he said he will pass the ticket to his superintendent pointing out his error and will get back to me. He thinks he is talking to my son but am in France and he called me via my French landline.Thick comes to mind and he's not blonde.

Was this a PC?

If so - I cannot see him going directly to the super over a speeding ticket query!!!

You might get a result after all but, that said, when I was writing tickets for a living my locus on the ticket would be, for example, the M90 Perth to Edinburgh road.

If it went to the Police report stage (ticket unpaid and notification to Fiscal) it would thereafter be, on that report, the M90 Perth to Edinburgh Road from a part nearto Kelty overbridge to a part nearto Rosyth junction.

Point being, the ticket is the original opportunity to pay.  The copy complaint is the intermediate opportunity, trial is the ultimate.  At all stages, mistakes can be overcome by correct process. 

As I said previously, best result from your lads perspective is that the Police bin the ticket but, up here certainly, it would require substantially more than a wee mistake with the wording of the locus on the ticket.....

I agree with you but you mention the word" ROAD" that's the part missing.

In all honesty, thats neither here nor there. Its could just as easily be the B12345 Somewhere to Nowhere....

Yes he's a taxi driver and he was clocked by a tight exit from a roundabout,to get up to 40 odd he would have to hammered it within 300 mts.They said he wasn't speeding before this and in about 200 mtrs from where the 50 mph starts.The rain was chucking it down last night and the road had quite a lot of standing water.By son's not a boy racer,never been stopped for speeding or even killed a fly before this.

Ok - even being a skipper, I still can't see him missing out inspector / chief inspector, over a speeding ticket issue.

I would also imagine (and like to think) that a traffic Sergant would be able to sort out a fixed penalty issue without needing to refer it much higher...

Gloucestershire's Deputy Chief Constable was on foot patrol in a park, the other day, to combat antisocial behaviour   :-?

I must point out this wasn't in the omega but in a 12 year old London style TX1 auto taxi that only has a top speed of 75mph.0 to 30 takes about a 30 mins.

44mph

That implies that the speed was recorded by means of a hand held device rather than tracking (following the vehicle, eg 42-44 over 3/10ths of a mile) or by vascar (44.56 mph average over a distance of xx).

He may well have been 'nicked' at a somewhat different location to where he was stopped, given that the PC would be out of the vehicle and standing (if following the guidelines correctly) then getting into his/her vehicle and thereafter catching up....

Personally I'd just put my hands up and take the fine/points... I know I'm not an angel and I do speed sometimes (NOT in built up areas normally but have the occasional lapse ::) ::))

Unless it's the critical points which would put me over the 12, in which case I'd fight it just for the chance to keep my license :y :y

Just me personally, and what I did several years ago when stopped in Worthing :y :y
