client cleared of speeding allegation on A303

B instructed Barry Culshaw with regard to an allegation of speeding on the A303 in Wiltshire. In addition B was alleged to have failed to identify details of the driver of the vehicle contrary to Section 172 of the Road Traffic Act. B maintained that he could not possibly have been speeding as he was out of the country at the time and, as such, could also not possibly have been the keeper of the vehicle. Representations were made by Barry Culshaw to the Crown Prosecution Service that the proceedings were unmeritorious and case law was cited. The Crown decided to discontinue both counts.
