I had that too, in the late 1970s. The police wrote up a substantially false interview with me, at my office. It concerned parking within the confines of a pelican crossing. I said that I was the main driver but had no records of who was driving on the day (some months earlier). The record of the interview said that I admitted driving on the day. I believe these procedures have since changed
I am not suggesting the CAA would lie but if they get a less than very competent lawyer then anything is possible. Look how many
