the law, have they got me?

On they way home after a rabbiting mission on permission in southport, we were driving through altcar, having a look at the fields with the lamp. we never left the vehicle or entered any fields . As we were leaving altcar we were stopped by lancashire police, who proceeded to confiscate our lamp and summoned us to court on the 3rd of may. Surely we cannot be prosecuted for shining a light from a vehicle on a public road??

imo you deserve prosecution huntin this late in the year, but i suppose if you waited untill the season started again you wouldnt be able to go out in your shorts and t-shirt.

Yes they can ffs you can get done for having the interior light on while the veichles in motion.You can get done for driving with your lights on during the day although why my mate was doing this i dont know Yet volvos have their lights on all the time. I take it theyre putting it down to either driving without due care and attention or dangerous driving?

[baw 4,360]

You can't get done with driving with your lights on during the day ethyl or 99.9 percent of motorbikes would.

Whats the charge then??

[Ideation 8,216]

Is this no the 3rd time for the same topic?

 

What was the charges, you never say, if you are in court you will have a charge, so spill it, unless you are not telling the whole story.

 

In which case, quit harping on about it.

Must have been his fog lights or full beam. No way can you get done for side lights or dipped. It would need to be a right f*****g arsehole to fine someone £70 for lights on even if it was fog lights.

there charging me for poaching, the officer said they were taking action to stop game keepers pushing people into ditches, as there had been complaints. I was after knowledge of any one who had been charged for a similar scenario, not smart arse remarks.

It was a newly assigned officer to the area ,for this purpose, and your right,ar@;"£$e, had to beg him as we had a 12 year old with us not to prosecute the kid. We did only have two dogs with no blood or game in the car,
