Sounds like a big headed copper to me, you get them now and again or maybe a bit more often I wouldnt worry about it mate you was hardly doing anything wrong, how else would you get it off the pavement other than driving/rolling off it Funnily enough I had a letter off the courts today saying the fine has gone from £30 to £45, I had a seat belt fine over a month ago, but the thursday before easter I rang to pay it but it was shut for easter and back open the Tuesday after. I thought fine I will ring again Tuesday- no answer, Wednesday-no answer, Thusday-no answer, Friday no answer By this time it was too late looks like im going to have to go to teh station and explain but cant see me getting very far USELESS!!!!!!
