I was not driving without due care and attention.
I have been cautioned for driving without due care and attention. The night in question I was waiting at a junction to turn right on the left of me was a stationery police car with his blue flashing lights on he flashed his headlights for me to come out but I didn't so he flashed again this time I pulled out he then accelerated behind me so I did the same to avoid an accident then drove on to a safe place to pull over there was no impact but the police are now saying I did not stop at the Junction and caused them to swerve damaging the shock absorbers on his car we were both breathilised and this was zero. I am a 60 year old pensioner and cant afford a fine what do I do if this is taken to court. I am completely innocent.
Im afraid if you get convicted at court then you will have to pay a fine and court costs unless you defend the allegation.
The only alternative is to persuade the police/prosecution to let you do the driver improvement course as an alternative to prosecution but there is still a price to attend the course.
Come back to me if you get a court summons and I will have a look at the evidence for you for free and give my initial view on the strength of the case. I may be able to persuade the CPS to drop the case without the need for a trial.
