Quote from: JustLoveCars on 12 May, 2025 20:01No - 'evidence' showing you were apparently speeding isn't a good look (Not that an averaged GPS reading can be relied upon). But you'll have to wait and see the officer's witness statement if it does progress to court...I understand your point, however the speed was a maximum for that drive and included several roads with higher speed limits that the one he claims I was speeding down.The statement on the S59 was "... you were driving at a high speed..." and the officer telling me more than once that I was "clearly exceeding the speed limit", yet the maximum I was going was 2mph faster. He did also claim that I had to slam on my brakes for the red light just after I passed him, but I did not trigger the "Rapid acceleration" or "Harsh braking" events within Life360 at any point on that drive although I suppose that isn't really relevant unless he brings that up at a later date as that was not the reasons listed on the S59
