I got a fine in the mail two weeks ago with a nice photo of a bike exceeding the speed limit by 14 KPH, only problem is it is not my bike.. I ride a Harley and the bike pictured is a Yamaha pretend Harley. The number plate is partially obscured, so someone has decided because the visible numbers are the same as mine and the bike vaguely resembles a Harley, it must be me.
After two hours on the phone pressing buttons and talking to F***King computers I finally got a human who said "the senior sergeant will look into it and you should hear from us in 14 days". Yeah right!
They are probably preparing the warrant for my arrest for non payment of the fine as I write this.
I'll keep you posted, but I can see myself hanging around court all day to fight it. |
Well my time to pay expired with no word from plod, so I wrote to the prosecutor giving notice that I wished to appear in court to defend the case. I included a photo of my bike pointing out the differences between it and the bike in the gatso picture.
I also noted that I had rung them stating dates and times and the name of the only human I had been able to contact and that I would point out to the Magistrate they were wasting the court's time needlessly.
Today a got a letter saying they had dropped the charges and had removed my demerit points.
