got pulled over in november, due to a loud exhaust, i told the copper it was all legal and he believed me (decat lol), then he proceeded to search around my car for defects and found a bald tyre, told me i would expect three points, i asked if there was anything i could do to avoid them and he told me i couldnt, then he left. so i left to go to renault to sort this out.
In January I recieved a court summons regarding this incident and was fearing losing my lisense so i visited a solicitor! (what a waste of money) who basically told me there was nothing i could do,
i then rang my local police station after looking up info on the internet and explained to the case review officer that i read up on the fact that in 80 odd percent of cases when a single non dangerous defect is found, it is at the officers discresion to offer me a week or so to get tht problem fixed. not to mention i said he did not measure the baldness of my tyre with a guage of somesort.
the case review officer said he would look into this and i should present these facts in writing, saying if given the chance to have the problem fixed within a week the problem would have been resolved, to the court and to ask for the case to be adjourned whilst the review officer reviews the case.
recieved a letter this week, saying charges dropped!!!
yet again i escaped!
