Thanks for the kind words guys. As I said the only evidence is their "expert opinion". In Scotland there has to be corroborative evidence but since there were 2 of them, one backs up the opinion of the other and that's all that's required. My son came back very upset and totally confused about what had been said to him so I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.
Despite the "expertness" of the cops if it comes to it I am willing to take them on in court and imply that they might be mistaken in the poor light at the time. I'd also like to get a hold of some of the research on motorcycle visibilty to back this up. Any doubt that can be cast on their evidence can only be to the good. My wife happens to work for a firm of solicitors which might be to our advantage.
