Good evening,

Just thought I would ask people on this forum.

I was stopped on Sunday morning by a standard police proton car, the officer checked all my details, everything fine there.

Said the reason he has stopped me was because I cut across a large roundabout in excess of 30mph (he had no actual speed camera to verify this) and stopped the progress of a LGV coming on to the roundabout, due to the fact I arrived at the roundabout and proceeded to cross the roundabout exit straight ahead, said i wasn't Courteous to other road users.


So from here the officer says he is going to issue me with a Section 59 on the Mini and if I get stopped again I could have my car impounded. He was very short and abrupt with me and said the section 59 was like a driving ASBO.

Now the question i am asking is should the officer have given me a form/letter/ticket there and then or at least got me to sign and agree that I was in the wrong? its his word against mine.

Just thought I would ask the question.

P.S. Yes the LGV was on my left so I was on his right hand side, so he should give way to me.
