  1. Hi So just to close this out, I entered a guilty plea and stated my mitigating circumstances and reason for delayed response. Fine was £123.00 and 6 points. £49.00 donation to Victim Services. Thanks for your feedback and advice. Regards.
  2. Okay, thank you for the advice. I'll let you know how it goes.
  3. I received a Fixed Penalty letter on 05/12/22 (dated 25/11/22) but had been advised by a solicitor to write to Sussex Safer Roads immediately requesting disclosure of all evidence involved in the case within 28 days upon which I could then make a decision on what path to take. A letter was posted on 15/12 to Sussex Safer Roads I had no response and emailed them again to follow up on 16/1/23 again receiving no response other than the automated acknowledgement of ' Your email is important to us however please be aware we receive a high volume of correspondence and a response can take up to 10 working days. In the meantime, the following information may assist you with your query' No further communication was received for 5 months until the SJPN turned up this week.
  4. It says in the officers report the defendant requested leniency due to the circumstances around the vehicle and traffic situation. Would this have likely been recorded on a body camera or anything?
  5. I understand that but I would argue mitigating circumstances and that the penalty in no way fits the proposed offence. I could do 40 mph past a gatso through a residential side street with kids playing by the road and get £100 and 3 point fine.
  6. Hi. On November 25th 2022 I was sat in a long line of traffic at temporary traffic lights on my morning commute. About 100 metres back from the lights with clear view that it was red. My car engine was on the eco 'Auto Off when stopped' setting and auto hold handbrake engaged when stopped. As i was late for work the office called, i answered on the hands free but they couldn't hear me so I picked up the phone and said I was stuck in traffic and will be about 10 minutes late then hung up. Lights still clearly red. At that moment a bike copper drove up, tapped on the window and said pull in at the next opportunity. We then sat there next to each other for a further 5 minutes waiting for the lights to change. Upon receiving an email from Sussex Police later that evening I requested any evidence be forwarded to myself so I can make a judgement on what to do next. Last week on 9/5/23 I received a Single Justice Procedure Notice which needs response within 21 days on how to plead. I know there is probably no point contesting Not Guilty in court but £200 and 6 points seems very excessive considering the circumstances and could affect my job. I drive all day every day for work and have no previous offences. Is there anything else I can do - courses, lesser charge and in reality I was not driving whilst on the phone and was in full control of my vehicle. Any help greatly appreciated. Kind regards Dom
  7. Hi Apologies for the urgency on this one but I have never been at this stage before. I was contacted out of the blue by Northampton Courts just before Christmas in regards to THREE SEPARATE PCNs i had no clue about. No tickets, no NTK, no Letter Before Claim, nothing! This is a 'One Parking Solutions Ltd' and Gladstones claim. I entered my appeal defence on the official Gov website and hoped that would be it but now I have received a 'Notice of proposed allocation to small claims' letter attached to a 'Directions Questionnaire (Small Claims Track)' document. - Form N180 On the letter it says: IMPORTANT NOTICE - If you do not comply with this notice the court will make such order as appears to be appropriate. This could include striking out the claim or entering judgement. TAKE NOTE THAT 1 - This is now a defended claim. The defendant has filed a defence A copy of which is enclosed - (THIS PART HAS BEEN CROSSED OUT BY HAND) 2 - It appears that this case is suitable for allocation to the small claims track If you believe that this track is not the appropriate for the claim, you must complete box C1 on the N180 form and explain why 3 - You must by 27th January 2020 complete the N180 form and file it with the court office and serve copies on all other parties I am lost as to what I do from here and why they are still pursuing, can anyone offer any ideas please? Thank you, much appreciated.
  8. Surely leaving a tenant with no means of washing for 4 days is a breach of the landlords contractual requirements. And my nearest leisure centre is a mile away, that was an unacceptable request.
  9. Hi, apologies for not knowing which forum to post this in, and apologies for the length. Am I within my rights to withhold a percentage of this month's rent in regards to the following issue. In November 2018 a new couple moved into the flat below us and complained about a leak coming from our bathroom. We were asked not to use the shower until they could solve the issue. 10 months later, after a number of visits from various contractors and still unable to shower, we were informed they would be putting in a new bath. I took the day off work to wait for them and nobody showed up so I lost a days wages. They were re booked for Monday 1st October and I arranged for the letting agent to supply them with keys to let themselves in. I received a call later to say they were done for the day, have removed the entire bathroom bar the toilet and have left me a bucket to flush the toilet with as the cistern was removed. When I asked how I was supposed to wash I was told to go to a local gym/leisure centre! Tuesday-the same. Wednesday-the same. Thursday, finally a bath had arrived and new toilet connected. During this week they had used my shower curtain as a sheet to walk on, left two stains on the carpet. Left a thick layer of plaster dust all over the contents of the hall way, unplugged the freezer and not plugged it back in resulting in loss of all contents. Failed to re pressurize the hot water/heating system, and left the new leaking towel rail dripping constantly. It's still leaking today. Where do I stand regarding a discount on the rent? Thank you.
  10. Hi, so another query for you. Bit long winded, apologies. Having not had a ticket, I received an NTK from the council a while back. I checked the details online and an officer had ticketed me whilst loading into my flat on double yellows - completely legal under the local borough's website guidelines for parking. I sent them a letter of appeal stating that I was in a state of continuous loading and not causing any obstructions in accordance with their laws. A month later I received a letter for Recovery of unpaid debt from CPS? I appealed the CPS and had it overturned as I hadn't had a rejection notice from the council. The council have now sent a letter saying I can pay the original £70? (£25 surely?) or await the independent adjudicator decision from the Traffic Penalty Tribunal. Soooo, what are my chances here as it's my word against the councils but I refuse to pay when no offence has taken place. Anyone had any experience with this process? Cheers
  11. Well that got out of hand quickly, was just a question so no need to rant at each other. Yes there is a filter junction just ahead of the GATSO which is clearly marked well in advance I don't travel at Warp 9 or Slam My Brakes on at every camera. I simply ease off the throttle as I pass through the speed change sign. The law technically states that you must be at the new speed as you pass the sign so that's my fault, no problem with that. The mobile camera - pointing backwards toward oncoming traffic passing the threshold - was put in place on the day purely to make money from this. Everyone is travelling at 60 well before the junction and the GATSO. Makes zero difference to road safety.
  12. Hi. I'm just wondering what the law is regarding having Mobile Speed Camera Vans stationed next to GATSO's. I received a ticket, my fault I was over the limit but was already slowing as I go past the GATSO every day. It's a 70mph dual carriageway which drops to 60 about 500 yards before the camera, then returns to 70 again. There have been no recent incidents here, any reason the Police would do this? Just seems like a way to make money from those passing the '60' signs still just over the limit as they slow down.
  13. Just to add, in case this thread has helped anyone out, I have now heard nothing for 5 months and have been forwarding your details to all users of the car park whom I have seen issued tickets. Cheers:-)
  14. The reduced settlement offer came this morning, a whopping £32 reduction. Lol. I'm looking forward to see who they now pass this onto and what my next reduced offer may be. I have a funny feeling with my luck this year that they'll end up taking this one the full distance.
  15. Just to update in case others find this thread useful, your detailed schedule from earlier in this thread is still bang on target. DR+ letter this morning titled - NOTICE OF INTENDED COURT ACTION I shall continue to ignore.
