    He was driving his own car which is not modified in any way as he pays enough insurance to start with so has not made any changes to standard, also he was in the bowling alley in a different place.
    It was a warning that applies to him, so no he cannot drive my car at all now.

    Do you mind me asking what type of car he drives that costs £4000 a year for insurance but has not been modified in any way?

  • This seems strange.

    The PCSO gave him an order for an offence committed earlier, but said they hadn't got his registration. How did they know it was him then.

    I smell porkies
    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical

    Well I didn't mention, that at the time that is written on the warning notice, he was actually with his friends bowling. Also, apart from being 17 he doesn't drive like an idiot. He is a careful driver with a really nice car, paying £4000 a year insurance and obviously taking the blame for some other idiot. I may just leave well alone as it seems that I might make things worse and just get him to put it down to experience.

    Really. I bet he never swears, would never have sex before marriage, and helps out at the old folks' home.

    My son was stopped by a PCSO on the street in his car and given a warning notice for 'Driving in an anti social manner'. The incident supposedly happened on the Tuesday and he was given this 3 days later on the Friday. My first query is: as he is only 17 should they have contacted me as he is a juvenile? Secondly: the PCSO said that they did not get his registration number so they could not give him the warning notice earlier and thirdly my main concern is that they have written the wrong car make on the notice. I hope this makes sense as I have tried to keep it short but I was just wondering if anyone can advise me whether I should take this further as I think he has been mistaken for someone else who is driving the same colour car and is a young male driver. thanks for any advice.

    What did the PCSO say when he told them:
    a - it wasn't me
    b - I was elsewhere at the time
    c - it is the wrong make of car on here

    OP, there is a chance that it was your son who did it but doesn't want to admit that to you. He tells you that he was bowling so you're not disappointed in him. He could have been egged on by mates, etc. Even good boys make mistakes sometimes. And it was only a warning so not like it was a serious mistake.

    I think you need to have a think about it, and maybe a chat with your son. If you are happy that he didn't do anything wrong then challenge it.
    Would be interesting to know exactly how they identified him. Is he, himself, notable at all - i.e. the PCSO picked him out from his description rather than that of the car?
    Has he got a receipt or anything to show he was bowling? CCTV at the bowling alley, even?

    OP - first of all, which force was this? I wonder if PCSOs have the authority to stop vehicles in your area?

    Secondly, get on to www.pepipoo.com where you will be able to obtain some advice from those in the know.
  • Thanks for this advice, I will have a look at pepipoo now. thanks again
