3 points and £60 fine for abs light on


yeah man. there were two female coppers one was young and was fit. the older one was a bi*ch felt like slapin her of her high horse and sending her home.

Yeah gonna go court man gonna get a case together get a vehicle engineer get to write a report and do some research etc.

The vosa guy put a prohibition notice therefore required to get mot. That wont be a problem pay 30quid and sort it out. I cant drive until i get mot. Might be beneficial because it shows the car in good condition. If i win i'll get em to pay me back
 
Thats crazy, some traffic cops just hand out fines and points for fun!. I definately would take it to court, thats ridiculous. Where abouts in West Yorkshire are you from out of interest?
 
where's tropher.....

i'd get it retested and appeal the silly badgers decision, only out for statistics to write into her report at the end of the day! sour toad!
 
Restest and get a lawyer they have no got a leg to stand on... Arseholes so they are

huddersfield, they got me on leeds road by the playing fields past toyota garage.
I think i was the last guy because they packed up and left as soon as they screwed me over but i did blast of engaging vtec.

Coppers think they know everything she starting saying that exhaust is aftermarket have you told your insurance. I went its standard its type r you aint ready!
 
Very sorry to hear about this dude... its never nice

also the offence code : 159 ??? what is this for..a driving offence usually has letters in it ??
here is a link to the offence code's..
Motoring Penalty Fixed Codes and Points | Offences & Convictions
the offence code for defective brakes is CU10 .....
why did they pull you over ?

The police can only search your car against your will if they have a search warrant or if they have a reasonable belief that an offence is being committed and it would be impractical to get a search warrant. ( hence me asking why they pulled you over ) they must imediately tell you why they have stopped you..

one thing that worries me is that they have given you the points... this is only done if they believe the car to be in a dangerous condition..and also they ahve said about court already ... i thought the whole idea of the scheme is to give drivers the chance to repair the fault so they don't get points.. But if they have given them allready it would lead me to believe it was a bad fault..

this is from a police website:

"The VDRN scheme is voluntary. It involves the police giving the motorist a form, which explains what the defect is. The driver must rectify the defect and submit the vehicle for inspection by an approved garage. The result of the inspection is completed on the form, which must be returned to the police within 14 days otherwise the motorist will face prosecution. Please remember that if your car is considered to be in a dangerous condition, you will get penalty points and could face disqualification."

A VDRS ticket can be issued by a police officer for certain offences relating to the condition of a vehicle, and are issued dependent on the relevant factors of the offence, at the officer's discretion. This gives the driver the opportunity to have the fault repaired, rather than be prosecuted. To avoid the possibility of prosecution, the driver must do the following within 14 days of the ticket being issued:

• Have the vehicle repaired.
• Have the vehicle inspected at an MOT approved testing station.
• Have the VDRS ticket endorsed at the MOT test station to confirm that the fault is rectified.
• Forward the completed VDRS ticket to the Central ticket Offices within the time specified on the ticket.






but if they did not give you reason to search your car and they ask... you can say NO. but if you say Yes you have given all consent and have verbally contracted with them. people seem to forget we have power over the police, they work for us !!!! not against us.."to protect and serve"
one last thing.. Did you get a receipt for your fine.. when you go to court Definately get a receipt for it. they will probably be twats and say you have to send off for it, BUT definately do this.. Once you have a receipt the account is closed !!

what happened is i was driving and got pulled over asked to go into the car park and wait till vosa guy comes. It common that vosa and police work together to do this.

I pulled up asked whats up and that i need to get off soon because i had work. He said just routine vosa check and that i need to wait. Safe i said I have nothing to hide car is insured, motd and taxed.

Coppers come over saying its too low and that aint right. Vosa guy came said its low, I said it doesnt foul anything drive its spot on. He shoved his hand around but it clears everything so he couldnt say owt. Then he drove it around full lock and it was right then he noticed abs light on. thats it nowt else.
 
ah man, that test is not obligatory..
a question to always ask is if they are acting upon their oath and then follow it with " am i obliged to do this officer ?? "

definately consult a lawyer about this..
 
are you a lawyer? seem to know a bit. Thanks a lot for your advice. bit weird case dont know how to tackle it. But i will take it to court. Like i said they didnt know what code to write themselves. shall i still get new mot for it
 
just had a look at papers i got.

1) Form PG9 Vosa Prohibition Notice. Defect Listed as "ABS warning Continuously LIT on dash"

2) Fixed Penalty Notice(endorsable offence) form from police. Its got a serial number on top that starts with an "E" followed by some digits
 
your from huddersfield then mate, what car you have, im from huddersfield aswell. ive seen stops on leeds road but never vosa checks. the traffics in huddersfield are knobheads!
 
got court case for this in march. what b*****ds. need to prepare for it
 
My ABS light is on due to my mechanic who changed my wheel bearing and I have changed every component in the ABS system and still the same, its utterly shocking u got points, I think its not about safety, its about money in their pockets, VOSA are utter bastards and always look around the car to find something to screw u over.
 
what arseholes, i couldnt sit back and take that. Like said, get some legal advice, take it to court and tear em up!

good luck!
 
this got settled got thrown out of court. motorist 1 traffic cops 0. got mot guy to write a letter saying brakes were in working order. and printed a brake efficiency document. Am glad its sorted. I didnt have to attend court got settled in hearings solicitor dealt with it
 
well done:nice: hate those mother truckers , i would hav went to court too for that definitly
 
What a bunch of cnuts.
Glad you protested it fella and won. Go's to show the law isnt always wright.

Didn't even know you could get points for a thing like abs light. What was the reason they wrote on your ticket?
