man im so pi$$ed off, it finally happened today, the dreaded letter come through the post claiming i was doing 38 in a 30 caught by what appears to be a mobile.
it says preston road 30mph (NW), ribchester (E DIV) mobile
now the story
this is how i remember it, and have only 1 thing to prove it wasnt me, my log book where i wrote his name as the driver for that day..
I work for currys as a pc field engineer / delivery driver and i was out with a work mate (no longer) and unbeknown to either of us we must of run this camera.
this was the 18/3/11.
We never heard anything about it, and we werent expecting it as wwe didnt know etc, then the day before the 28day to notify the police who was driving i got a call off my mate telling me bout it and he asked what my book says, he says he wasnt driving, so i said well your down in mine as driving, sorry mate all yours, kinda thing
so when i get back to work, the boss dealing with this says shows me your book, and it shows he was driving, but.. ive being filling it in wrong since i started (never shown how to, as per usual) and ive written drive times down with his name next to em, so he says well i see what youve done, but cos youve put times down, to me you were driving,
i was like wtf, you can see all through the book what ive done, and he just goes on about doing it wrong, which is fair, i have, point being i have him down as driving.
I phoned him later after and he said well sort in the morning, so fair enough, but morning comes, and no sooner were we in but i see him driving off, making no effort to look at me or talk to me etc. So i go in complaining, and there were all the bosses there and said look hes gone and not sorted it, to me thats an admission of guilt, if some one accused me of somet i aint done, id be like gtfooh, and play hell, but he just buggers off.
And since he hasnt spoke to me or acknoledged me, a couple of times the boss has said have we sorted it, and i have said no, and hes promised to get us in meetings and stuff etc, this is 3months in the making virtually now, and still no resolution.
3 weeks ago this came up again, so i said you get the pic and if its me, ill take em, if not, sort my ex mate out etc
So 2 weeks ago we were ment to have this meeting, and on my last day in, the boss says to me, whats your dob, so i say why, and he says for the ticket, so i say wheres the pic, and he sheepishly says, its from the rear, so cant id driver, and tells me the police are now investigating it and will wanna speak to us, but obviously a lie cos today i get the letter about it.
now it appears to be a mobile camera, so ive looked and ive not found any that are rewards, they appear to be front on all the time, so just wondering if anyone knows different?
im calling tommorrow between 10-2 as thats all they are open, lancashire constabulary for this thing, to try and get a pic, but i have read on the internet on forums i may have to pay, which i will, but i dont want it to take ages cos after 4 months i will not get the course, (as i am clean licenced, hopefully 3 years, there was somet a long while back)
so i dont know what to do, if i thought it was me id roll over and take the slap, but as i dont think it is, im pi$$ed off about it.
i will be writing to hr about the way ive being treated thou, cos this guy is not a good boss by any means, and no support at all..
what woud people suggest...
thanks all
