Hello,

I was diagnosed by my Doctor as having a Disability under the Disability Discrimination Act having suffered for about 18 months with work related stress and anxiety due to my job 'inside'.

 

Early January 2016 I was photographed doing 79mph in a 50mph zone by a mobile camera. My fault, but it seems I was caught out by traffic slowing down and speeding up as the limit changes several times - as I was overtaking the traffic increased their speed up and I felt it would be dangerous to stop.

 

My question is not about the 'offence' but IF I am called to attend magistrates court if my Doctor is able to write to the court....additional stress...anxiety/ depression... SSRI medication for 1 year.... Reasonable adjustments...not fit to attend.

 

There has been a 'precedent' - whilst on 'sickness abscence' HR department wrote to organise a home welfare visit and I was advised by my Doctor that I was not fit enough to attend.

 

I would appreciate your advice - I am not making excuses or trying in any way to 'dodge a bullet'.

 

Best wishes

I don't think you need to attend, unless there are other driving convictions that might lead to a ban.

We could do with some help from you.

Should be able to plead guilty to the offence in writing, when you get the form through the post from Magistrates. Therefore no need to attend court.

79 in a 50 falls within "76-85 in a 50", giving a starting point of a Band B fine, and one of (6 points or a 7-56 day disqualification).

 

Band B fine is 75-125% of "relevant weekly income".

They consider a reduction of 1/3 for a guilty plea.
