[GT450]

Some years ago my wife was caught speeding in my new XR8 at the time and the copper that caught her was in an identical car heading in the opposite direction. He wanted a chat about the car so asked me to sit in the police car whilst we talked and he wrote the ticket.
He had been through 3 diffs in a short time and when he left me with one wheel on the shoulder and one on the bitumen, and he floored it , I realised possibly why.
Anyway he couldn't delete the ticket but he said as she had a good record to write a letter to the fines office and maybe she would get off.
I paid the fine , but I also wrote the letter for her and I got a letter back saying the offence was proven but due to a good history they would refund the fine. Took me 3 months and a couple of reminders by phone to the fine dept but I did indeed receive the money back. So the moral is, pay the fine but write the letter and ask for leniency. I know it can work.
