Has anybody (as of today 10th August 2007) got a pending speeding ticket, or have you just had a speeding ticket? I've just got one and I need to know if it's valid or not. At the bottom of my 'intended prosecution' notice is a box marked 'FOR POLICE USE ONLY' with spaces for a Police Officer (or someone else) to declare that they have sent this notice to me by normal mail, and it goes on to say that the sheet I've received is a true copy. The thing is, this section has not been filled in by anyone and therefore is not signed and dated. The date is included higher up the form, but not on this declaration. Has anyone got a current similar form, has this section been filled in on yours, and do you think this omission makes my form invalid? Any other advice as to how to get this ticket quashed? It's yet another money making venture from a Government that has already stolen nearly every penny I've earned. No wonder people don't help the police much!
Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest you call the agency from which the officer issued the summons. Or, you can call your local Court Officer where the summons' are processed. They will be able to assist you with your question.

Unfortunately the ticket it still valid regardless the officer did not fill in the right spaces. If you were to take this to court, a judge would honestly laugh at you in a attempt to dismiss the ticket just because a section was not filled etc. Really, it is the polices word over you. Honestly either pay the ticket or do defensive driving so you wont get any points on your record. You don't stand a chance in court unless you have circumstantial evidence.

Obviously you don't accept responsibility for your actions, why would I help you. It's the governments' fault you got a ticket because they need the money?
They have stolen every penny from you already, so I take it this isn't your first ticket then? You don't learn.
Here is some advice on how to get out of tickets in the future though. DON'T SPEED!!!

Stop trying to get out of the ticket, you were speeding. Pay it.
