Nevertheless, the police will try and prove you wrong if they think you're lying. Easier to pay the money and take the points, if you have a UK licence. If you have some other licence, and you've been here more than three years then you're already in the poo.
Keep on trying to get away with it and you end up ever deeper in the crap.
The relevant paragraphs of the newspaper report reads:-
Quote "Once the Bromleys knew they had been rumbled they confessed. Yesterday at Manchester Crown Court they were fined a total of £9,200 and ordered to pay £1,900 costs after admitting two counts of perverting the course of justice. Pbutting sentence, Judge Bernard Lever said: "The best place to hit people like these is in their pockets. Had they not pleaded guilty, I would have almost certainly sent them to prison."
As a result of his court appearance Stuart Bromley is being investigated by his professional body, the Royal Insbreastution of Chartered Surveyors. An RICS spokesman said he faced possible expulsion and a fine of up to £5,000."
End quote.

Is it really worth it for a speeding fine that no one else will give a toss about?
