New Judge....thanks for your reply..  Yes the speed limit was the main topic of the posts particularly early on.Now the cases have gone on to Court I cant really pick up a trend.There seems to be little parity in some of the Judgements.  I havent actually been to the hearings.I do however frequently read how the hearings have ended up.TBH the majority of the cases that have been unsuccesful prosecutions were no PC witness leading to lack of evidence.Majority not all.I can't think why they would not even turn up??   I am aware of the increased charges ofr pleading not guilty.....Its a Russian Roulette Situation IMHO[/quote]

Hi New Judge.I am not sure if you are a member of the group and can see what it is going on??I can categorically state that I have seen at least a dozen occasions where Motorists Cases have been discharged after pleading not guilty in this area.Its a travesty of justice because in the early cases there seemed no hope for anyone bodyswerving any penalties....so most were encouraged to plead guilty.Obviously they are stuck with the judgements(Points and Fines).I wanted to give the OP a possible option in his situation.Once more I would encourage him to look at the page before he commits himself.I suspect he is from the A20 area so will have no problem being accepted into the group.     

ApologiesI got in months ago....Its worth trying to join....I think some of our more talented posters could make a difference on the page.Approx 63,000 nips delivered in 2 months (it is said).Speed limit reduced because a vehicle aquaplaned into a Service Station.Reduced from 70 to 40 for roadworks.A20 Sidcup/Swanley.One driver got 33 points and large fine. Uproar at the unfairness of it all from the members.   

This page has kept me really intringued for the past 4 monthsFacebook Page ....Support for the a20 speed fines......Private group - need to join to view

I am not qualified to give any advice....but I have been following this debacle on Facebook.Interestingly a lot of the drivers who have pleaded not guilty have not have got off without punishment.It seems the deluge of cases may be pushing the courts into meltdown.Often the Police are not appearing at the trial and when they do their evidnce is discounted.Im happy to supply the source of my information(if the admin allows) as it may help others in this position too??  

Looking at the List that The Rookie supplied....Using Waze or Google Maps could lead to a conviction.Where do we stand on Navigation with Mobile Phones ......Millions of us do it everyday??

Quite right mickRI live up North.....I'm guessing my one bedroom house would be worth a Million if it were in Kensington.So Rodney.....This year....."I am a millionare."It would be a fraction of thatb in Halifax.I live in Halifax ......we have Piece hall as a venue near us ......recently we have had the real Tom Jones and the real Blondie there.I prefer the North(although) I'm a Southerner by birth.Your money goes a lot further.A pint of John Smiths is £3.20(free entertainment) at my local WMC.The traffic flows mostly freely and the Countryside of Calderdale is outstanding.I have recently claimed my new full State Pension and it will be the same as they get down South??And the reason for my post...the Facebook page shows an unhealthy amount of the PCN and ULEZ charges.Maybe the Councils are less inclined to let anything go.You were right mickR....this is what I was trying to illustrate.     

Yes....and on top of that London has Ulez and Dartford Tunnel charges.I cant understand why people pay so much extra to want to livce in that situation??Apart from if its their work situation of course ?? 

You make some good points Andy Foster !!The A20 Victims are not keen on Khan at all   .

I have been scanning the Facebook page for this site and have noticed....1) When a poster puts on a criminal case he/she is reffered to here but only very rarely can I see the case actually coming across??2)There are far more parking and yellow box contraventions in the CONFINES of the M25 than in other parts of the country ...even proportianately.    I can only assume London is a nightmare to drive in and is becoming even worse??     

Driving is not much fun anymore ??https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/30-million-motorists-in-england-could-face-fines-as-dvla-asked-for-driver-details/ar-BB1ojTfc?ocid=msedgntp&pc=LCTS&cvid=5d38a4a28d5448d28e9a62930d9b2ab3&ei=9

Its part of its appeal ...it keeps giving and taking away.It has a huge history and reputation.Try the search button??There is stuff from when the Bay City Rollers where in the charts.The page that will not die!!

DonostioI am surprised there are not more people from the Sidcup Area seeking advice from pages like this and Pepipoo.You get good free advice from ex Lawyers and Learned people on here.....please raise awareness of the 2 sites to friends and family who may also be suffering.its going to be a real interesting time with the Court Cases about to start!!!

Quote from: sparxy on 21 Mar, 2024 15:09Whilst I don't want to see Ppp go, they've had what, 6 days of downtime now? That's unacceptable, as others suggested in cases where timeframes are strict. Suggestions have been made to MJdev, and offers of help were extended previously and ignored.If they were indeed working on upgrades on the site, they would have been aware it was down, and if not, surely they would still visit it occasionally? (I visit all of my sites a few times a week, and also have automatic reporting when stuff breaks).Part of me wishes that the domain had never been renewed, it would have been easy to then provide a link to here and other resources, and also a proxy back to the (still running) ppp server.In a Nutshell !!

I’m not sure how we would make them any more aware of it than we already have done.[/quote]I will say this Pepipoo must have helped scores of people in the past.There are links in other Forums (Money Saving Expert etc)to Pepipoo and it has a huge reputation Southpaw.Its a shame to see it go....if thats what happens.It looks like you have done well to keep it going as long as you have !!
