Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hi everyone,went to court on thursday last , got 325 euro fine and 4 points.other charges were struck out. i explaned to judge that i never recieved fixed penalty but he just ignored me and kept asking me,,are you guilty or not guilty.He let a guy before me off a mobile phone charge when he told the same story... i feel very hard done by and am appealing it...im fortuneteller.


    Dont appeal it, Id say take it on the chin, you wont get anywhere appealing.
    Its a pain but they do not like appeals, pay the fine, take the points and take it handy in the car.

    I know that sounds harsh but I dont think youl get anywhere appealing.

    Ps the fine wasnt too bad at all. You were speeding and the fine was on the low end of what they give for that and the 4 points was always goina happen.

    Thanks for sharing, we don't see many court stories round here thanks to the pitch-fork wielding locals.

    I'd also say leave this one be, there's a time to fight and make a nuisance of yourself and there's a time to draw a line under it. An appeal does not guarantee anything.

    So do ya loose your licence for 10 points or is it 12. If you still have your licence id say just leave things be. Points only last 3 years so you only have to be on best behaviour for another 2 then your first 6 are gone.

    BTW thanks for sharing its been a facinating thread and good to see most on here are helpfull posters....

    On appeal you will get a different judge, so there will be a different attitude. Worth asking around who that is likely to be and what they are like.
