Speeding
Nov 26, 2010
Evicted from the speed awareness course !
Photo Speed Camera x 2010 38 mph in 30mph limit.
Driver Education offerred and accepted, attended on x 2010 but was evicted from class for asking awkward questions.
Immediately visited Leicestershire Police HQ atx seeking audience with Chief Constable to seek advice and enlighten 'system' of my situation.
Was told on telephone I would hear from relevant depatment - heard nothing.
On x 2010 I received not only summons but also notices of fine of £x issued in my abscence and penalty points.
Same day I also received notice of arrest warrant for non payment etc and also Final Notice from DVLC to send in my driver licence etc for points.
Have written to sourt exp[laining only recevied on x can they please set aside, especially as I elected Driver Workshop and had paid for it.
Response is no can do, must appeal to Crown Court for set aside etc.... since out of 21 day allowed for appeal even though all of this was effected without my knowledge - have no understanding why no notices or postage were received untill x nor why they all arrived on same day date.
Am I able to obtain legal aid or green form advice as to how to proceed?
I am 60 yeras old, disablied and on state benefit with no savings or capital, in rented accomodation.
Thanks in anticipation

Well I have never heard of that haoppening before..... Thats quite an achievement - The course is entirely at the discretion of the police. If they withdraw the offer of disposing of the offence in that way then that is a matter for them Im afraid.
You can try and appeal the speeding conviction but there is no real point if you accept that you were speeding at the time of the alleged offence. The only good reason to appeal a conviction is if you dispute the allegation in the first place - otherwise you risk higher fines and court costs if you lose at the Crown Court.
You wont get any public funding in relation to this case as your liberty is not at risk. You would therefore have to pay privately if you want to be represented.
