Speeding advice required.(JP?)

Posted on behalf of a friend:

"Graeme was stopped apparently doing 103.4mph on the A66, dual
carriageway. The police did not show him the video, and they gave him
a fixed penalty. However he lost his paper licence and has had to
apply for a new one, so when he went to copshop they would not let him
pay and have told him he has to go to court (in Durham).

Do they have to show him the video at the time of the incident? They
only showed him numbers and no evidence that it was him that committed
the offence. Graeme thinks that the video does not show his number
plate due to the weather. "

Any comments will be welcomed and passed on.

He's unlucky. I got pulled a while back and had a similar problem (lost
MOT) - they gave me a weeks extension - however 103.4 in inclement weather
with poor visability won't endear him to the beak, best find the license
pdq.

 

His lucky he didn't get band, hence the reason why they didn't show the
video and gave him a fix penalty. No and they don't have to show the
vid's because the copper stopping him will be the witness. Was there a
pair of them when he got caught ? Because otherwise it's Graeme words
against the copper. If they have already decided to give him a fix, I
think going to court would be just a settlement for payment.

I'm sure someone would have come to his aid.

There does not have to be a video. He may have been clocked by any
number of devices that they have. The police officer's statement is the
only evidence required in court.

What I think needs clarification by JP is this:

as Graeme failed to complete the fixed penalty process in the allotted
time will the court process the case as a minor speeding offence, i.e.
SP30, 3 points like the fixed penalty? Or, will the court use the actual
recorded speed which could involve much use of shafts.

 

You're right, I think he should go on the run.
