| How many points do you have on your licence at present? If you've got 9 then I can understand your dilemma, however you've really got to weigh up the stress, hassle and unnerving experience of a day in court. Or as you already know you were speeding, £60 and some points which may or may not affect your insurance premium. The whole idea of the points system is just to put a warning shot over your bow and make you consider your driving/riding. It is at the end of the day a minor road traffic offence, driving without due care and attention or heaven forbid attempting to pervert the course of justice are much more serious. Completely agree with Rushjob in what he says regarding corroboration but at the end of the day its your decision and you don't seem to be too sure of the evidence against you. Those witness boxes are lonely places...
Don't wish to put a downer on things, but a lot of the articles in the press regarding speeding and the ease of which you can get off are written to sell papers and are guilty of a lot of misinformation. If you're going to fight these things you have to know your law or be able to pay someone who does.  |
