Anyone been to court? without due care..
 
long story but i know i wasnt and they cant prove i was,... only thing they have is 1 tyre below legal limit, even tho they say 3 the insurance man who checked my car over after my crash says 1, and have paid out..

Just need to know what happends when i get there etc...

get a proper brief or your gonna get screw over by a judge who aint lived in the real world since the 70's

^^likelihood is he will appear before a magistrate panel.

Also, CPS must have some confidence in a prosecution otherwise they wouldn't bother with the hassle.

As mentioned, get some legal advice. They'll probably advise you on what could happen, over the phone, gratis.

There was a little more to it ;) If anyone lives in the Knaresborough/Harrogate area, this particular chap was the person guilty for sticking his car in the bridge by Mother Shiptons Cave :D - he also left the scene of the accident :rolleyes:

1. without due care
2. I know I wasn't
3. after my crash

The crash may be a clue as to why you are being charged with due care...

Going to the magistrates can be something like a game of poker. Generally the cps wont have all the proper evidence disclosed. So you need to get a good traffic solicitor and call their bluff.

Knowing the rules of the game really helps.
