Afternoon all.
One of the Operation Snap videos I sent in has gone to court and the driver has pleaded not guilty and so this time I have to attend court as a witness.
So, my question is what to expect when I get there. I rang the so called help line number provided by the police and the woman I spoke to was about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
Apparently I'll be questioned about the statement I provided at the time - basically the Op Snap submission - but will this be a cross examinatin type deal you see on tv? it's a magistrates court dealing with it so I can't think it's too over the top but any advice gratefully received.
I'm not sure what grounds the driver is pleading not guilty to driving without due care and attention which is the charge seeing as it's obvious from video he is far too close.
Anyway, guess I'll find out. Case not for a few weeks yet.
