Hello,
I'd appreciate some help. I've sought legal advice (one via a free Motoring Legal Company, another via a paid solicitor) and been given all sort of conflicting information. I have 6 points on my license for speeding offences currently.
I received a NIP and admitted I was the driver, another 6points would lead me to a totting up ban.
I was caught in queueing traffic by Cycling Mikey, who took a video of me. I touched my phone but it is in my lap and never hand held but the Cyclist commentary is stating that I was holding it. He doesn't shy away from turning up to court.
One solicitor told me to accept the PCN & fine and then contest not guilty if it goes to court as mitigating circumstances are poor.I therefore did pay up but this will be rejected by the DVLA I'm sure- will they write back to me or will it just go to court?
Another solicitor told me they can write to the police and request I get a "lesser" charge of not in proper control for 3 points. They said although they can see in the video that I'm not holding it, it won't go down well in court and they will find me guilty regardless.
I'd appreciate some help and advise on my situation- which solicitor do I go with??
