Taken to SC court. Update: court date.
UPDATE Hi everyone. I’ve got a court date for this case, just my luck it’s when I’m on holiday so in the event of it actually getting that far I’ll have to do a 12 hour round trip for a half hour case. I think the next step is for me to submit a witness statement, is that right? Do I just say what happened or do I need…

driver was in breach of any prominent term and it is…
