Speeding and other criminal offences / Dye care and attention on a closed road
« on: Yesterday at 11:55:37 pm »
There was an accident, and road closed, a major road for 2 hours.
I felt very uncomfortable, and was needing to use a toilet.
So I reversed slowly up the slow lane with my hazard lights on, to find a police car at the previous junction, they were directing the traffic off the main road.
I asked if I could exit under direction from them, which I was told no, and he took my details.
Now I have the result of a court case 6 points and £440 fine.
I feel this is excessive points and fine for a light mistake.
Does the punishment fit the crime ?
