Penalty Points: He Wants to Appeal Against Ticket that Brings Him Two Points
V.M., a resident of Flacq, is reassembled. Two days after the introduction of the penalty point, he pays for. The system is still being debated since last Friday. Caught out, VM today would challenge the ticket. Unfortunately, he no longer has any use. He tells us his misadventure.

"Last Sunday, around 7:45, I left Flacq to go to Black River. Near to Cascavelle I outrace a car traveling less than 50 km/h, speed limit for was 60 km/h. Suddenly, an oncoming car began to accelerate. It would stop me. I had only two choices: to stop suddenly or accelerate a bit to get to the left. I chose the second option. A policeman, who had a mobile speed camera in his hands, asked me to stop. He says that I was driving at 72 km / h. I explained that I had to accelerate to avoid an accident, "says he.

He then agreed to pay the sum of Rs 2000 to avoid going to court. Therefore there are two points on his 'Driving License Counterpart' (DLC). "I am very disappointed and I would like to challenge this decision because, first, I do not trust this device the officer held in his hands, then in this case, I really had no choice."

Contacted in this regard, a lawyer explains that paying the fine, the driver accepted the offense. "He should sign the ticket 'under protest' and go to court. The magistrate would have decided the following he deserved the death penalty or not. "
