    Its funny isn't it, how most people who get a s59 are young males, newly qualified.

    It must be a conspiracy.

    You're absolutly right, and the s59 l think is a good idea, it has calmed him down and taught him a lesson, that l guess is the idea of it but what is wrong is they had no proof it was him the 2nd time just hearsay, l think that law just needs 'tweeking' a bit!

    It might well be a joke but we haven’t yet got to the stage where people can be arbitrarily fined by the authorities with no right of appeal or review. (although I do believe it is planned for the next few years)

    If the OP’s son is innocent then he should appeal/seek review, if on the other hand he’s guilty but telling his mum he’s not then he should keep his head down

    Yes it's my son!! Believe me lm not one of those parents who says "it was'nt my son" when he first got the s59 l was the first to say serves you right, but this time l do believe him and we're going to see if we can appeal but we had to retrieve the car as it was £150 then £20 per day you leave it in the compound, how do these kids prove that their driving sensibly when there has to be no witnesses to the misdemeaner just hearsay. Apparently a blue car was seen driving irresponsably all eve but when my son was stopped he'd just finished work but the policeman didnt want to listen, he had a blue car and that was enough.

    S59 - no right of appeal.

    S59 - no need for evidence.

    S59 = police state.

    HTH.

    I stand corrected, the new labour project is ahead of schedule on this one.
