Ok...If you have a section 59 on YOU or YOUR vehicle t
 
59.   Vehicles used in manner causing alarm, distress or annoyance

When off roading I often cause alarm and distress to my passengers and quite often annoyance to my self if I'm faced with a paticuarly challenging route

Doe's this mean I could receive a section 59 :lol:

If the police office in question wants to then the answer is yes

    

If I'm driving along what I believe is still a carriageway without extinguished rights and a Police Officer issues me with a fixed penalty notice, what do I have to do to get my day in court? Am I being cautioned and should refuse to accept the caution, or do I get something in the post and can tick the 'I want my day in court' box? (assume I already had a s56 warning)

You cant. The only right of appeal you have is to get your vehicle back after they impound it. It is not like a caution (where accepting it is an admission of guilt) it is a sentence with no right of appeal. The policeman has found you guilty, without you entering a plee, and sentenced you for your crime.

Am I under any obligation to assist the officer in the removal of my vehicle should that prove to be the route they take? Curious because the size of low loader needed to recover my vehicle may not fit (especially with a vehicle on it) down a lot of the country roads leading to/from the places this might happen.

They dont need to. They can sieze it anywhere, even out of a garage. You don't have to be present nor does it have to be at the scene of the 'crime'. They can simple wait until you get home.

Oh and if it is "impracticle to do so" they dont even need to tell you about it. This might easly occur if they are not in a 4x4 and see you going up a lane and you dont see them.

well it was supposed to be a joke :roll:

Are you a copper by any chance Bob?

[Bob696]

I know it was meant as a joke Len  :lol:  Unfortunatly, except in a tragic sort of way, my response wasn't. This law is VERY wooly and almost unchallangable.

Nope, not a copper. Natural cynic and observer of goverments and how they work in practice.

Just checked my immigration points for Canada and exceed the 67 required by 5. Guess where I'm off to.
