Hi guys, two quick questions really, just looking for some advise on both please.
Firstly I pleaded guilty by post but now it has been adjourned so that I have to attend the second date.
The letter is a bit confused, it says if you don't attend the court can hear the case in my absence and disqualify me,
the disqualification will take place immediately so don't drive on the date of the hearing.
However... it also says that if not attending an option is they can issue a warrant for my arrest!
I plan to attend, although as the court is 250 miles away if given the choice I would prefer to be sentenced in my absence
(even if this means the possibility of a bigger ban).
So in short, does anyone have any knowledge of people having a warrant for their arrest due to not attending,
or is this just for extreme circumstances?
Secondly, the paper license I sent was a few years old and has on it a couple of previous speeding convictions
expired from many years ago,
can they bring this up at all in any way in court?
Or is it assumed they will be completely unbiased and ignore this altogether?
Cheers
