Golum strikes!

Hmmm.

Let's not 100% condemn the op here. Almost all of us will have labored the desire to 'spank' some tosser in a Corsa.

Questions here for me are more like...

Is he lying?
If so why?
Was he attending the meet to race and behave like a deplorable twat?
Was he passing for any reason (chips, mates chips, massage, whatever) and happened to decide to 'spank' a tosser?
If so, has he lied just to make the story that he was 'just passing' seem more plausible?

Etc

Maybe the police were confused by some flashing lights...

Well wouldn't you want to see one, if you can get 6 points and a bad for not racing am sure every one would want one

If I was you id be very careful with how you proceed with this because if you tell any lies you will more than likely get caught.
If you know you've done wrong then hold your hands up but if you most defiantly did not do anything then fight it.

I didn't not see the need to tell every one where I was going. But they gave out 528 letters in the past 2 weeks. I have been there to watch before but not in my car but this time i really did go to the chippy. Plus they don't want to show the CCTV footage, so that is saying something

I'd just return the form and if anything else arises from it then get some legal advice. Most solicitors will offer a free 30 minute consultation to asses whether you have a case worth pursuing or not so that should at least help if needed. It won't be cheap if you do take a solicitor on after that but if you're innocent then it's worth doing. I was late in returning a speeding letter many years ago as they cocked up the postcode, they did chase it up so it's best just to play ball at this point I'd say.
Best of luck

Could offer the car gods a sacrifice.......If all else fails.

528 letters? Where did this info come from?

Cheers mate and thank you for the advise. I have wrote a letter so I will send that off and hopefully it works out.

Because I don't want to sign the back of that paper, because that means am saying I was racing which I wasnt.

Thanks again sir

From a person who spoke to a copper told him they sent that much letters and got video footage which they don't want to show, till you sign the paper work

[hmi1750]

Get someone to proof-read your letter. if it is anything like your posts, they may just throw it out after trying to read it.

Hope you clear up the confusion and get some evidence of the alleged offence you committed. Definitely speak to a solicitor for proper advice.

+1

In fact if you have any dealings with the authorities at all you should get representation. I don't mean to be unkind but your English is very poor. If you come up against any crusty old magistrate you won't have any credibility with them.

[Business edition]

Over a 1000 letters where sent out.

The police gave most people section 222 which is a ban from the area and a few other racing spots.

And guess what this dude got sec222 and he when to race again and the police got him and put him in a cell, took the car. Now they are setting a court date

[Mart1000]

Over 1000 letters now? I think someone is yanking your chain mate.

And a vehicle won't be seized for a breach of sec. 222 injunction...

To be fair, and don't take this the wrong way, I think your just believing what is commonly known as 'pub chat'. Rely on facts and what you know to be true. Forget what your mates and mates uncle/aunt/copper etc are saying just go on your own individual legal advise from a qualified solicitors.

All the best...

I also got the same letter dated 13.5.12 on the same stretch!
I emailed the officer in charge and also got a reply saying they cannot pass any pics/video recordings due to them issuing over 500 nips that weekend.
It was a specialist operation called SHIELD i belive to tackle racing in that area.
I recieved a SEC222 injuction about 7 weeks ago delivered by hand and blocking me from them areas until sept 2013.
Serves me right tbh!
I havent gone around them sides/events for atleast 5 yrs as since my son was born have grown up and everytime i did go i ended up in some sort of trouble so started doing legal trackdays instead to let of the steam.
Only reason i was there that night (and i know its no excuse and has come back to bite me!) was i had my car for sale and i had 2 youngish low to mid 20yrs olds viewing the car that evening as i work till 8pm most days, and thought driving past the TRACKS and getting some cred from the spectators would help sell the car!!!
Problem now.............and a big one is that me and the other 2 had driven the car down that stretch and i didnt take note/keep logs of the times and 1st i heard of offence was 13 days later.
No body drove the car crazy but could have been over the limit a few times.
I have had to forward 1 name to police who could not even send me photos or similar to help identify who was driving at the time and am waiting to hear back yet...........not good!!!!!!just my fcuking luck that 1st time in 5 yrs i go there and i'm back in the red!!!!!!

[dxb335d]

If you really knew it was a problem area then the best idea would have steered clear, the guys who drove it, have they bought it. Prob just wanted a kick out of driving a quick car.

You more likely to sell it using AT than going to an illegal street race

I feel sorry for you that your now involved. Hope you get it sorted mate
