Beavis Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 If it was arrive alive you were probably caught from behind. Anyhow tell them they can't ban you as you are down for the Wales drive out. I requested 2 photos from them and both did not show the driver.But my wife at the time still paid the fine though i told her not too as they could not proove who was driving.

GIXXERUK Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 this weeks auto express pg45 " my company car was caught speeding but my wife and i genuinely couldnt remember who was driving so we contacted humberside police and requested photographic evidence. But we were told we had no right to see the evidence, adding that giving false information could lead to six months inprisonment, i was not prepared to risk my freedom by guessing, so we have been fined £500 for failure to identify the driver, thankfully as the car is a leased car to my firm, no endorsement points could be added to either driving licence" i always thought you were entitled to see the evidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Get the best motoring lawyer you can afford mate - with 9 points you are in dangerous waters and you don't want to do anything that might pile on the agony without knowing just what they have on you.

Sorry stuey i requested the photographic evidence from arrive alive and got it. how do you get in touch wiv them Just wrote them a letter saying that could you send a photo as we could not tell you who was driving.
