So,
Now the case is over..
I can post (Well I could have anyway) the single photo evidence.. still photo from Gordon Quean & Michael Pagella of Sandiacre Highways England Depot.
They claimed in their statements that I drove where they have put the arrows, when I did not.
I went in the line of traffic and only left the line of traffic after I had passed the 2 workmen.. the exit slip was perfectly clear & this photo also distorts the distance.. as there was plenty space...
Anyway.. 2 false statements (which is an offence) used to convict me of dangerous driving.
I only managed to get a solicitor at the last minute.. She was nice & very efficient but I don't think she was the best choice for driving offences. Especially with a room full of men.
District Judge Nick Watson also made excuses to take away all my time of getting the right solicitor for my Civil hearing defence of Bill of Rights.. and..
with only 3 days notice changed the 21st May date to 18th April. So I didn't get the proper defence & the money I had to borrow was used to defend as normal.. The £600 initial money could have been put to better use if I had known which solicitor to get from the start.. (Civil injunction) as I could have got help with Costs..
The First solicitor did get the special Civil hearing for me though, which was good.. But the Court completely made a mess of it and really ruined everything.
I will need to decide if I am to appeal or not..
I have got 12 months ban with a required driving test-re take which has extended test which I am really annoyed about..
I have abou £600 - £700 pounds fine on top of solicitor fee which was £1500 + Vat.
and 150 Hours community service as well.
God knows how I will get to community service & back..
Plus There are still the Telford West Mercia speeding case (where road signage has already been proved unlawful by the council) yet CPS still pursuing it...
And the Lancashire police seat belt fine.. at Preston.. which are going to be ridiculously difficult to get to.
This is the entire point & reason why the "associated circumstances" rules exists... To stop things like this happening when you have been doing something like a campaign or project where everything was connected....
as I have been investigating these Road traffic sites, Questioning camera officers and so forth under the premise of the same protection I truly believe & still do.. that I have..
The Law says It should be all taken into account.
Unfortunately District Judge Watson is not a man of understanding and wider thinking & I don't believe he understands the principles of law and how laws interact & general compatibility & reasoning.
Its a bit like trying to explain something to my own & dad & trying to get him to understand it.
He doesn't have a capacity for analogy and algebraic concepts and thinking.
I don't believe the Crown Prosecution service are very good lawyers. They just want to get a conviction, prove you did this or that.. they don't care why.. they don't want to know anything at all... I mean Ive had my Petitions in the Newspapers & been doing it for 5 years..
The CPS guy truly was ignorant & literally I don't think he was interested or in any way concerned nor believed the scale of my work or its importance.
The fact the court was empty also... There clearly are not too many criminal cases at the moment...
