Zebra Crossings

I hope you can answer my question. I was recently given a £60 fine and 3 points on my licence for stopping on zigzag lines for what was literally 5 seconds to drop my partner off at an ATM. The police saw me doing this and sounded their horn at me so I moved off. The police drove on so I thought I'd appeased them enough. I turned into a parking place nearby and waited for my partner. Sometime later the same police van spotted me and pulled in and asked me to sit in their van.

Here the police driver explained that if I hadn't "Ignored" him when he sounded his horn at me I would have gotten away with a warning. At no point did I think he wanted to sit and have a conversation at this crossing.

They then asked me for my driving licence which I didn't have on me at the time. I offered them a bank card assuming they wanted to confirm my name but they declined. The policeman the filled out the ticket was either stupid or deaf because he spelled my middle and surnames incorrectly. Now I realise this doesn't automatically invalidate anything but would appreciate knowing if there were any grounds at all to escape the points? I feel the policeman was completely unreasonable. The punishment doesn't match the "crime". Common sense knows that of course there is very little common sense in law. I'm a careful driver that doesn't speed but made an honest mistake stopping on these lines. 3 points a £60 for that is over the top I feel.

Any advice you can give other than "read the highway code" is greatly appreciated. :-)

Having just travelled from x to x to assist my daughter in getting to Carlisle for her Race for Life event the following day, I dropped her off at work at a restaurant and at the same time my son decided to post a letter in a post box opposite. I pulled in close to the kerb with my indicator on throughout and stayed there for the time it took to cross the road and return for my son. At this point a rather bumptious policeman pulled alongside and asked me to park in a space about 30 yards further which I did. He then proceeded to ask me to get into the patrol car at which point he informed me I was illegally parked and had gone through a red light at the point when he asked me to move. He served me with a fixed penalty notice and 3 points. Having driven for 35 years without ever having been stopped by police I find the fact that I have been pulled for what I believe is a trivial offence whilst attempting to do good in assuring my daughter gets to the Race for Life event thus raising much needed funds for Cancer research. Personally I would much rather donate the £60 to the Cancer Charity

I am a fully qualified ADI Grade 5 teaching for over five years. i was teaching a new pupil on her 2nd lesson moving off and stopping. we approached a zebra crossing outside a school . on approach i took control of the car and stopped to allow a pedestrian across from right to left. once the pedestrian crossed i proceeded up speed ramp and across the zebra crossing when they had cleared the crossing . a policeman at least 50 metres away from the crossing infront of me waved us down and ask us to tell him why we were stopped. we both answered we are not sure as we beleived we hadn't done anything incorrect . we both recieved 3 pts and £60 fine which we would like to take to court to fight . we have two witnesses.
as we went across the crossing the headmistress was standing by railings . we returned to the school in question and the head said we did not proceed whilst her pupil was on it. where does my pupil and i stand regarding this matter ?
