Hi all,
Thank you for your time in advance.
Well the incident happen last nite at 2am in the morning!(22 07 07 )
I live in the Worcestershire area and as you know we have had some very severe flooding!
As a keen off roader I have been interested on how much the water was rising around the area!
The Previous day I had been going around and pulling random people out of the floods just to help out!
On our way home last night I decided to go to the worcester bridge to check how bad or if the water is going down!
To cut a long story .The police officer were situated at the bottom of the road, so to get out the way I turned left closer to the river, I was immediately followed and with the blue lights.
The policeman who booked me came to my window, and on that instant I was already guilty no telling off just straight to the booking slips.
I was then issued with a £60 fine and 3 points to my amazement !!
Offence code 666 Contravening direction of cones!!
To stop my rambling I had taken photos of another route which was not coned off which would have brought me to the same spot and not through the conned area.
My arguements are,
Was my offence that serious that it warrant my three points and £60 fine.
He didnt witness the alleged offence
It was assumed that I have done what he told me!
Do i just take the rap and shut up or find other avenues to deal with it!
Here goes
I went to court last month on the 22 02 08
It got adjourned to this fri 22 of march 08 This coming friday
This was the policemans witness statements which i had to retreived from the cps today
" On the Day and the date overleaf I clearly saw the defendant driving through a road closure on deansway, Worcester
The Road was completely blocked by big foot cones and road closure sign.
The police officer was parked at All saints road, between bridge street at the junction

The alleged offence at the round about on the a44 near the college yard (the entrace to a44 from the roundabout was where the road closure sign was in place.
The defendant drove the wrong way around a keep left bollard and pedestrian crossing to get around the closure when stopped and question he sted that he wanted to see the floods.
He was driving a 4x4 vehicle and appeared to be driving round the flooded areas, deliberately ignoring warning signs, just to drive through the floods.
Again he had assumed knowing my home address at this point and he would have had to do a vehicle check.
and I live in Malvern
where I was trying to get too
I explained the offence and issued this fpn.
Thanks in advance for reading any suggestion and actions would be much appreciated
