Saj,

doing 93, you're asking for problems.

In fairness to Mr Plod, it looks like he did his job properly to apprehend somebody for speeding and then by following procedure establish that said individual is driving a car with a license which was revoked nine years ago.

Top marks to the Policeman and perhaps if more were so diligent the grey area drivers would be taken off the roads.

Milan.

Wait for the paperwork to come through as to what they are going to charge you with.

If it is as serious as you think and you are an IT Contractor I suspect you can afford the services of this gentleman.

Definitely pursure the complaint with the IPCC regarding the insurance. Sounds very dodgy to me. Since when have plod become purveyors of overpriced insurance. I assume you got the name, rank and badge number of the plod involved. If he has overstepeed the mark here you may be able to get off the whole thing, again though it depends what the charges will be as to how much it is worth spending on your defence.

I would also get straight over to pepipoo.com for some advice.

A most entertaining work of fiction. Well done.

M1, Heading North from Bham to Bradford, and got caught by a lazer gun and complete a**hole of a enforcement office (Police Car)

This guy decides to check everything - redefines proper job. So he starts with the Tax check, then the insurance....and not wanting to give up to quick goes for the driving license check - which i had no problem with, as i passed when i was 18.

Turns out that my license has been revoked. up until now - i have had not to many points (6 Due Care 2000), however it turns out that they requested the license back in 2000, and because i did not send it - they revoked it!!! - DOH!!

ok so now the guy is like - well unless your wife can drive you, i can not allow you to take the car!!! and remember this is mid afternoon on the M1 trying to get upto Bradford for a wedding - so i said ok, she is allowed to drive the car because the insurance on the A-Class allows her to drive any other car.

Now the guy is being an a**, so now he phones the insurance checks my spouses policy out - and even with them TELLING him that she is allowed to drive the car - he insists that she is not!!! so he forces me to buy a stupiddly (because i have no comparison) expensive insurance policy - just so that i can travel to Bradford!

I have just spent the morning trying to get the D1 (Application for driving license form) completed - so that when the police prosecute me, i will have the required documentation to goto court with.

not sure whats going to happen, but i suspect something like a book being flung my way!!! I think it will be:

3 points for speeding (93MPH)
6 points for not being able to produce a valid driving license
6 points for no insurance because of the above (driving another car, with the car belonging to me)

HUCK SAKE!!!

ps: i know i was speeding, it was my fault. i dont expect to get away with it or anything, so i was just vetting my anger!!!

Are you expecting sympathy?

[SajStars]

Are you expecting sympathy?

i don't do sympathy, sorry you might confuse me for someone who gives a huck.

you know what, i might even try to beat that prosecution, considering that my work load is non-existent at the moment. just to prove that i can.

no idea if Tazer/Taser is an acronymn?

Wikipedia says

Taser is an acronym, named for a fictional weapon: Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle. Taser is a registered trademark. It has prompted a backformed verb to tase, which means to use a Taser on; however, to taser is also commonly used.

your probably looking at 6 points for the speeding offence .....

think you need to post on http://www.pepipoo.com and let the learned members have a look at this, and lso start looking for a good motoring solicitor....

As a contractor awash with cash, i'd consider Nick Freeman if I were you

Plus a fine of up to £2500 and a possible ban for the speeding.

Plus 3-6 points and up to £1000 fine and possible ban for not having a valid licence.

Plus 6-8 points and up to £5000 fine and possible ban for driving while uninsured.

At a minimum I would say you are going to end up with 12-15 points on your licence, which means a minimum 6 month ban.

I would also say you are going to have a very hard time defending yourself.

You got caught speeding and you admit it.

You have a legal obligation to inform DVLA whenever your details change and ensure your licence is up to date and valid. You didn't.

You either didnt read your insurance policy properly or you ignored the bit that says you are only insured to drive other vehicles *that you do not own*. Either way, you were not insured.

With all of these factors, and a tulip brief, you might be looking at some time to reflect on your actions.
