Mood: Finally gotten over the 748R getting stolen thing. Actually, no i haven't !
the plea that you need your licence for work does not carry much weight in my experience.
I took the , solicitor, take the boss along to plead for you route some time ago. Made no difference, the judge was chomping at the bit to but in while the brief spoke for me so that he could say " ban for 1 month, £165 fine. Hardly even polite enough to let him finish speaking.
The next guy up after me was done on the same day by the same cops. for 1 mph less (104) He also pleaded that he needed his car for his job.
Because he was a company director he won and got no ban larger fine.
Go figure, if he was a company director could he not afford a driver. I was just a field service engineer at the time with a real risk of loss of livelyhood.
