Re: Road Traffic Act

Indeed Andyl, there appears to be no such thing as "Innocent until proven guilty". For example, in the Crown Court the prosecution must prove "beyond reasonable doubt" their case. But in the Magistrates Courts they only have to show a "balance of probability". This basically means that an individual must state a more powerful case than a trained solicitor/prosecutor. In my case there was not even a clear cut issue... just the consideration as to whether my efforts were "sufficient". So I am a criminal because somebody thinks I didn't try hard enough.
