    Or do what I do and leave it switched "off" whilst in the car.
    If it's that important they'll ring back later.
    Agree with all of the above, just bite your lip and pay the £30.

      Because I was caught doing 84mph in a 60 on a radar gun, not a camera or anything like that - the day marked on the letter was correct, the date was one out, and it was only a typo. If you challenged it, they would merely write a new letter with the correct date on it.

          Yep, bummer to the tune of about £335 and 5 points!

            I thought S2 Avants were sold in the UK as Audi 80 Estate S2s.

              ETKA list it under an Audi 80 Avant Quattro (along with the 4 and 6 cylinder petrol and 4 cylinder diesel versions).

              Only if he made significant errors, such as calling it a red Ford Escort when it is a blue audi, and got the registration wrong, could it be challenged as an unstable report.

                The other thing to remember is an Audi 80 Estate doesn't sound anywhere near as sporty as an S2 Avant :mischeif:

                It works both ways as I found when I got pulled over for going a wee bit too quick a few weeks back. When the PNC came back as Audi 80 Estate Red the nice policeman didn't bother going round the car with a fine tooth comb and just gave me a slapped wrist instead of 3 points and a fine.

                If the PNC came back Audi S2 Avant I'm sure his attitude would have been very different. Especially if he gone to check over the car and found porsche brakes.

                      Yes, but S2 avant = glorified audi 80 estate
