    Not overly sure whether this will post properly, but this is one of the funnyiest excuses I’ve ever heard for getting out of a speeding ticket. Absolute classic! :lol1: :lol1:

    Cheers, Dewi

    Nice!

    For reference to anyone out there with more than one van/car on the road.

    One of our guys got a speeding ticket, one of those mobile ones they put on motorways, and took what i was told was a clear picture of the incident.
    I asked for a copy, which they kindly sent through, and true enough, a nice clear picture of the van, number plate, and a very unclear pic of the driver.

    I never refused any information, but did call the police back, and said that i was not sure who the driver was, as the picture was unclear. They informed me that it was my duty to inform who the driver was, which yes i do i guess.

    So i informed them, that on that day, i had 2 deliveries to make, both near the same area, i did not know who was driving what van, and the drivers could not remember (mmmmm), but i would supply both drivers names and addresses. They also did not like the fact that i had contacted Legal advice, and that as a small company, i did not have to log drivers names with the vans they were driving on given dates.

    They had to drop the charge, as they can only pursue one person for the offence. So not telling anyone how to bend the rules, but like the guy in this letter, you can use technicalities to get off! (hot)

    I had one last year,

    was caught doing 37 in a 30 ( in all my years in aylesbury i thought it was a 40 but hey ho)

    anyway all it said was the road i was on , i asked in what direction i was going as it was a mobile van that clocked me, and my wife drove one way and i drove the other way after picking her car up.

    a few weeks later it came back with us going towards Bicester, so i owned up.

    a few weeks after that it came back saying oxford.

    so i sent aletter back saying how was i clocked going 37 in 2 directions at exactly the same time on the same day on teh same road.

    charges droped 🙂

    Mort…..

    It probably was forty! The authorities seem to be in a process of lowering speed limits to catch people like yourself.

    The next village along from us had a forty limit for about a hundred years and then one day, for no apparent reason, it suddenly became thirty. As I drive that road two or three times a day I never looked at the signs because I thought I knew what the limit was. I only found out when one of my passengers pointed out the new limit and told me that it had been lowered six months previously.

    I had a similar experience at the last company I worked for pretty large though and they recieved a letter from the police saying the same blah blah camerea need the drivers name. So following this they went to the drives log and guess what someone had ripped out the page of that date what a laff.
    The manager had a meeting and asked the guilty person to come forward and there would be no repercussions no one did funnily enough.
    Plod was not a happy chappy lol.
