Ok, I got caught running a red on the Mile End Rd this morning, dumb move as a police car was right behind me, I was at fault no question.
So I get a 'Fixed Penalty Notice (non-endorsable) of £30', I gave my details up correctly, I thought I might have been let off but politeness got me nowhere and got a load of stick from the police man about ''how you lot complain about the roads so much...then you go doing that... blah blah blah''
In retrospect I could have given a false first name and a false address, so I'm thinking shall I bother paying and risk the chance of a court summons in the hope the police have more pressing things to be doing than chasing this up for a mere £45?
(NB: I don't want a debate about whether what I did was right or wrong)
