      Speeding ticket stop - no ticket

      By Man in the middle · Posted

      Since you were stopped at the time there is no requirement for the police give you anything there and then or to send you anything before they have decided how to deal with the offence.  They have three choices: Offer you a course Offer you a fixed penalty (£100 and three points) Prosecute you in court  The only option that has a formal time limit is (3). They must begin court proceedings within six months of the date of the alleged offence. Options (1) and (2) have no time limit but since the only alternative the police have if you decline those offers is (3) they will not usually offer a course beyond three months from the date of the offence and will not usually offer a fixed penalty beyond four months from that date. This is so as to allow time for the driver to accept and comply with their offer and to give them the time to go to option (3) if he declines or ignores it.  Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, the action they take will usually be in accordance with the National Police Chiefs' Council's guidance on speeding enforcement. In a 40mph limit this is as follows Up to 45mph - no action. Between 46mph and 53mph - offer a course Between 54mph and 65mph - offer a fixed penalty Over 65mph - prosecution in court So you can see that 54mph should see you offered a fixed penalty. Three weeks is not overly long for a fixed penalty offer to arrive. As well as that, there has been Easter in that period which will have slowed things down a bit. However, I would suggest that if it gets to about two months from the offence date and you have still heard nohing, I would contact the ticket office for the area where you were stopped to see if anything has been sent to you. Of course this raises the danger that you might be "stirring the hornets' nest". But in all honesty, if the police have decided to take no action, you jogging their memory should not really influence them. The bigger danger, IMHO, is that your fixed penalty offer may have been sent but lost and if you do not respond it will lapse. This will see the police revert to option (3) above. Whilst there is a mechanism in these circumstances  to persuade the court to sentence you at the fixed penalty level (rather than in accordance with the normal guidelines which will see a harsher penalty), it relies on them believing you when you say you did not received an offer. In any case it is aggravation you could well do without so for the sake of a phone call, I'd enquire if it was me.  I think I've answered all your questions but if I can help further just let me know. Just a tip - if you are offered a fixed penalty be sure to submit your driving licence details as instructed. I've seen lots of instances where a driver has not done this. There will be no reminder and no second chance; your £100 will be refunded and the police will prosecute you through the courts.

      Looks similar to you original email to their Complaints team. I dont rate copypasta for a CEO complaint. Rewrite it with emotion involved as to how badly this is affecting you and make them feel embarrassed for their actions...

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Actually I think it needs to look like a corporate gift from one of the people who use them with a return address of Amex, or Lloyds, or someone they'd recognize as being a friend!!!!!!! So I'd suggest very plain navy or dark red wrapping paper over a small box, maybe a smart gold or silver ribbon, and a gift tag saying something very bland like "Season's Greetings."

 

If I were at AIC I'd be very suspicious of a festive pretty-looking parcel, but something from an appreciative client would add to the ego-trip!!!

The last call I had from Iqor I asked the man to hold on while I got the person he wanted and then placed the phone under the hoover pipe and switched it on. Left it there for a few minutes and when I went back he was still there saying "hello, hello". :eek: Not sure if he was trying to attract my attention or if he had gone deaf. :D

Well all that hot air probably made him think he was listening to a Gordon Brown speech.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Yeah, 'ole Cyclops does have a way with words.

He certainly does, but it's not a very good way is it? He doesn't have a particularly good way with policy matters, personal relationships, ending boom and bust, telling the truth to the British people or sticking to manifesto promises either. Other than that, he's a pretty good Prime Minister.

I love the idea of sending a kipper in condensed milk to a DCA however I would caution you .....I remember my art teacher at college was trying to get some of the younger members of the course interested in "mail art" so he came up with a cunning plan.......he put a pound on the lottery and cut the ticket up into eighteen equal squares, he then put a square in each envelope with (what he thought was sand) some soil. The sand was to represent a beach, synonimous with treasure hunting and burying treasure in the sand. He sent each member of the class one of these envelopes in the hopes that we would all work out what it was, sellotape the lottery ticket together and hopefully win something the coming saturday.

 

It didnt work out like that, the sand that the tutor had put in the envelope was more like soil and some of the younger students showed thier parents who saw it as something sinister, who then contacted the police who then traced the post back to the tutor. He was somewhat surprised to be hauled out of a lecture and questioned about "threatening mail" and scaring his students.

 

Suffice it to say when he explained it to the police and the students everyone (except the tutor) thought it was funny.

 

The police do not look lightly at sending anything that can be considered a threat, offensive or potentially a health hazard...especially in the light of all the scares re the anthrax scares a couple of years ago.

Advice given is my opinion only, I am not a legal or financial expert (far from it).

What makes me laugh here is the thought of the police investigation into the kipper in condensed milk sent to AIC.

 

PC Plod: Can you think of anyone who would do such a thing?

 

AIC then have to give a complete list of all the people they have bullied and harassed, and details would be sent to police stations all over the country who would send out officers to question and fingerprint every one of us.

 

Somehow I don't think so........:D
