Drinking and Driving FAQs

You were absolutely perfect from start to finish. Not sure you can improve, just keep up the great service. Thanks again.

Thank you very much , I will continue to use you and also will tell my friends etc that you guys are really good professional

I heard today that no charges will be brought against me. I wanted to thank you for your initial advice which encouraged me to defend myself and your advice how to proceed. Thanks for keeping me posted at all times with progress. I can't thank you enough, this decision is a huge decision off my shoulders.

Jason Rosser was our progression officer and from start to finish we were kept informed by emails and phone calls. He was kind and very helpful. With his help our daughters case was dropped by the CPS and we cannot thank him enough. Even when Jason was on annual leave Ian took over and was in contact with us for the week, there was always someone there you could speak to. We highly recommend this company if you are in need of help with a driving offence. Thank you everyone who was involved with this case, we really appreciate all what you have done for our daughter and ourselves.

I am really sorry for bombarding you with emails and phone calls when you were on top of things but you have to know that from our end things are different. I have never been taken to court and was nervous and panicky. The process was a long and tedious which did not help me at all, but thank you so much for your dedication to my case and most of all, thank you for putting up with me during that difficult moment. This means a lot to me and my family. Thank you very much Rachel. Emma - Thank you for putting me at ease during my first call. Your initial free advice was priceless and things turned out as you advised. i was also glad that I have decided about representing myself or being represented by others. My last thanks goes to young Kirsty Day who was really, really brilliant at court. She initially tried to have the case thrown out but managed to nail a Not Guilty verdict which was a music to my ears. I had stressful and sleepless nights over the last 7th months.

Your input from the off was fantastic, morale boosting and demonstrated a lateral thinking approach for defence that neither of the 'home' based firms I use ever mentioned. I cannot thank you all enough for what was a great result for me, my family and colleagues.

Superb service, thank you. I can't think of how you could have improved what you did for me.

I will definitely recommend Patterson Law to everyone that needs legal advice for any road traffic situation. Thank you again.

It's so nice to have all that behind me now thanks to you guys. I still can't believe you sorted it all & made it go away.

I will never be able to thank you enough for what you have done for us, Please pass on our Sincerest Thanks to Angus I did give him two big hugs after the hearing , I really hope I didn't embarrass him to much, have a great weekend and once again a massive thank you to you and your team

Great from start to finish & you achieved the best possible outcome for me, thank you.

Thank you so much for all your support through this very stressful time. I really appreciate all your help so I could keep me licence and my job. Thanks again.

You must advise so many people that I doubt you remember me, but I just wanted to email to let you know that after speaking with you several months ago I represented myself at my disqualification hearing and came away with a reduced three month ban. I wanted to thank you, as it was speaking with you that gave me the confidence and motivation to appeal the ban. I'm really grateful for the time you spent listening to my concerns, and the advice you gave me.

That is the best news! Thank you so much I'm very grateful for your help. I will also recommend you guys to anyone who needs similar help in future!

Graham, I would just like to put in writing how pleased we are with your legal services. The preparations for the defence have been very thorough and detailed and we can't fault that in any way. I was very impressed with the level and volume of detailed case law that you were able to bring to bear, including the changes prepared to mitigate the very late evidence that the CPS tried to introduce. I would therefore just like to convey may heartfelt thanks for all of your efforts along the way keeping us informed on progress and which eventually lead to the CPS offering no further evidence and the case being dropped Without your expert help it could have been a very different outcome, which would have been a travesty of justice as there was never any intention to drive I would also like to express our thanks to Joseph Byrne, the Barrister you instructed to represent Chris at the hearing. He was extremely well prepared and VERY knowledgeable on our case and the points of Law surrounding it. He ran rings around the CPS Barrister who appeared to be very poorly prepared. Once again to you and your team and to Joesph Byrne, thank you.

Dominic is a SUPERSTAR !!!!

A huge sigh of relief for Luke and the whole family and a massive heartfelt thank you from us all to you in leading Luke through this and in your professional dealing with this matter. We are also extremely grateful to you for instructing Ann Crighton as his barrister, who as you advised us, we knew we could rely on the minute we met her to act in his best interests on the day. I have no doubt that Luke will separately send you his sincere gratitude and give you and your firm the highest online recommendations!! I once again apologise if I at any time appeared to step over the line as a protective and doting father - but no doubt your years of dealing with stressed out clients stands you in good stead! Many many thanks once again.

Thank you for everything its a relief to be still driving. You were "excellent" throughout & I would recommend you to anyone who needs first class advice and representation for a motoring offence.

Excellent service throughout & the fantastic result was the icing on the cake. We are really pleased & so glad that we chose your firm.

Ann and I want to thank you for your support during this struggle with the DVLA. We’re so pleased with the outcome, what a struggle it has been!

Thank you for your information. I was so happy yesterday. It was an outstanding result. The barrister who is representing for my husband yesterday, she was brilliant. Thank to all of you and I will definitely recommend you to anyone that I know.

Hi Conor I just wanted to let you know that I got my driving license back and I wanna thank you very much for everything you've done for me you’ve worked very hard on my case I really appreciate that. Anyways thanks again Conor.

I am absolutely delighted to be moving forward without a conviction and I am incredibly grateful to yourself and the team at Patterson Law. I contacted several firms yet only your firm offered a solution. This made me wary, especially because another firm had advised me that it would not be possible to resolve my situation. However any concerns were clearly unfounded. I have been impressed by how speedily my case has been resolved and with your swift communication. I have also valued your honesty and clarity in addressing my questions. No doubt your firm are already aware, but you are an asset.

I am writing to you both to say how pleased and relieved I was yesterday to have been found not guilty in court. My barrister Mr Kingsliegh Viollet was so thorough and did a fantastic job putting my case forward. I was very nervous about the whole situation, having never been in court before but, he instantly put me at ease and talked me through the process clearly and with confidence. His court room manner was impeccable and his line of questioning to the police proved beyond shadow of doubt that they did not carry out their job correctly and what they thought they saw was clearly inconclusive and incorrect. The decision making from the magistrates was a very quick one and I felt this was because Mr Kingsliegh Viollet put forward such a strong case on my behalf. I would like you to pass on my thanks to Mr Kingsliegh Viollet for achieving my not guilty result and I would like to thank you and your team for all your help and advise leading up to the court hearing.

I would like to take the opportunity in thanking Emma for her initial time and patience in explaining my case to both myself and my father (on numerous occasions) as without this, I would most likely have given in and accepted the fine and the points on my licence. I am also grateful for the support offered initially by Paul & then Rob, progressing the case to the finishing line.

Hilary and Rachel provided excellent advice and patiently listened to my questions. Fee was stated upfront with no extra charges. Thank you very much to yourselves and the team for your help - much appreciated. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for successfully arguing exceptional hardship on my behalf to prevent a totting up ban. You saved my job.

I received an absolute discharge with your help and advise having been told by two other solicitors that it could not be done. You were friendly and understanding and the end result was even better than we anticipated. Thank you.

I received a totting ban of 6 months with 15 points on my licence. Conor at Patterson Law assured me my case stood a good chance of a successful appeal. We appealed and my ban was reduced to 6 weeks with points removed from my site. My job was saved and I couldn't be happier, thank you

Great service and good communication from start to finish. I can't think how you could improve, thank you

Very helpful advice and understanding from the outset, very good at updating me also on progress.

The prosecution offered no evidence and the case is dismissed. “Free to go home”. Thank you very much for all. I am deeply grateful. And I learned a lot. I hope I will not need your services again but if I do, I will come straight back, and have already recommended you to a colleague with a similar matter.

I would just like to thank you and your team for your help with this matter, Angus Stewart did a superb job in representing me and limited the damage as far as could reasonably be expected.

I would certainly recommend you to anyone caught in the headlights (pardon the pun!) with any traffic prosecutions. I may be in touch when I have a response from the court. I really appreciate your help and understanding when I called and thank you very much for the advise to date.

I was very satisfied with how my case was dealt with from start to finish. Everything that I was told would be done on behalf on my case was and at a very high standard. I can't imagine how you could improve what you have done for me.

Thank you so much Rob for getting this matter dealt with and dropped in full. The ease in which you were all able to manage my expectations and take the burden of stress away is something that I shall not be able to repay, but can only thank you for. Your knowledge in this field cannot be contended with. Thank you again Felicity for being so patient with me in the initial calls and walking me thorough the process. Well done Patterson Law team, will definitely be recommending you to anyone in a similar situation and thank you all once again.

I was communicated with clearly and often and kept informed of my best options and the likely scenarios. I truly believe that hiring Patterson law was the turning point for my peace of mind and the successful resolution of my case. I couldn't have asked for more, thank you all.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending your company, who have clearly demonstrated their expertise in motoring law generally and an alleged mobile phone offence in particular. I suppose the easy option in a situation such as this is to plead guilty and accept the offer of a fixed penalty. But because of their considerable previous experience and knowledge of the law they gave me the confidence to challenge the notice issued by the Police. You clearly defined your highly effective process for dealing with cases like this. You explained this to me very clearly and followed it to the letter. The outcome could not have been better- having considered the submission prepared by yourselves, the Police dropped the charge before it went to court. So if you do have a motoring problem I would urge you to use these guys - they really know what they’re doing, they’re very good at keeping you informed, they care passionately about their clients and give you the best chance of achieving the outcome that you want.

That’s response from police......Success!! Thank you very much for your help. I don’t know how you turned this around but..... Well done!! Thank you very much to YOU and also say Thanks to Emma from me for dealing calmly with my emotions. I would say Speak to you soon, but that would be only with matters not related to traffic offences!! Thank you so much!

Thank you Conor you have done a brilliant job: negotiating this result. It means a lot to me, the result could have been: fine, possible penalty points, insurance cost escalation, embarrassment, a summons: all when I genuinely thought I was fully insured. I would recommend you to anyone in a similar situation, you took away all of the worry for me and I really appreciate you doing that in a professional and sympathetic way.

Your the best!! Just got off the phone to the police “no further action is being taken”. Over the moon, thank you so much.

I would like to express my gratitude and pass on a BIG thank you Paul Sabine from my son. Thanks to you and the whole team that were involved his case. We are sure it would have been a very different outcome if he had not been represented by yourselves in court. Your Barrister ensured the case was conducted firmly, fairly, and correctly. After watching my son's case in court, I would recommend anyone that finds themselves in a similar position to get themselves represented. And I would wholeheartedly recommend you without question for that task.

I am really impressed the way you have taken my email & like a thorough professional you have replied. I was really not expecting this kind of reply. My hats off to your very high professional standard & it clearly shows that Patterson Law firm has indeed got such high calibré people like yourself. I was also very much impressed by your Hannah, her human touch & her exceptional quality. Your sincere efforts cannot be doubted at all. I am writing an article on your Patterson law firm & initially it would appear in leading Pakistani newspapers & if possible then in British press also at later stage. You will always be remembered in my heart & in my mind till I live. Indeed Patterson Law should be proud to have people like you. I mean Miss Clare Hudson & Miss Hannah Reynolds.

Rebecca did a great job for me & got a fabulous result, thank you so much.

I ended up with no ban, they recognised my exceptional hardship case, but I have to keep the points till expiration, they wouldn’t negotiate, so super careful driving from now on! Thanks again for your help, it was spot on.

Great service from not just Paula Guest, but your whole team. Hard work and prompt instruction throughout, I would recommend you to anyone facing a motoring conviction.

I would like to thank you a million times for the outcome of Daniel's road traffic matter. We were so please to receive a letter from the metropolitan police explaining that all charges will be dropped (I literally cried when reading the letter). Because of you and your team Patterson Law, we are now able to look past this matter. I couldn't thank you enough, you have lifted a great weight off our shoulders. I will be happy to recommend Patterson Law services to any friends or family that are in need of legal representation or advice regarding any traffic road matter.

I very much appreciate your professionalism and the commitment shown by the staff involved. I have no hesitation in recommending you.

Excellent result. Not only did Carla & Patterson Law provide support and assurance over the 11 month period before my case came to court they retained my licence for me. They provided me with an excellent Barrister Patrick Kelly on the day and the result was beyond my wildest hopes. Excellent result and compared with the fees quoted by solicitors in the area an absolute bargain for a professional service. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I would like to thank you and your team for what you did for me today and help me retain my licence. Your service is very professional and my barrister did one hell of a job, once again thank you Rachel and PattersonLaw. All the best for the future! I will recommend anyone who may require your services.

Today I won my case at Southend Magistrates Court. I would not have done so without the professionalism that PattersonLaw displayed from my very first telephone call. I would particularly like to thank you Hannah for your first class effort on my behalf; you imparted relevant knowledge which provided me with clarity and confidence. My barrister, Alban Brahimi, was sensational too!

I would like to thank you all for your hard work and support about my road traffic matter. You guys have done an absolutely brilliant job. Keep doing your good work. God bless you all.

Paula has been excellent throughout this whole ordeal. Paula has been professional; responsive as well as supportive as well Paula has shown a very caring and client friendly approach from start to finish. Everytime I called or emailed Paula she always put my concerns and worries to rest.

Thank you so much for your help and support, you were all quite simply outstanding in every regard.

Graham, A big thank you for all help and support during my representation. This is absolutely fantastic news, once again many thanks to you and your team.

Just a short note to thank you for all of your help over the last couple months. All went well yesterday. I am sure you heard from Imran. He was extremely helpful and put my defence very well, much better than I would have done. It was a real help to have your reassurance and professional advice.

A big massive huge thank you for all your excellent and professional help. The service you have provided me is outstanding. I am very happy with the result which I did not expect. I will definitely recommend all of my family members and friends in regards to any motor offences in the future.

Very professional and reassuring advice & a very satisfactory conclusion.

Many thanks for you efforts throughout the case. I am very pleased with Patterson Law, your efforts personally and those of Mr Phillips. I would not hesitate to recommend you to others. Please feel free to use this testimonial on your website.

You were simply superb defending me, thank you.

Paula, I can't fault the service I received. You were pro-active, professional and above all, brilliant. My expectations were always managed & I always knew what I was paying & the risks involved. Thanks for everything

This was very good and we are pleased with all your services. We will use this service again if needed in the future.

I'd like to thank you and your team for all your efforts on helping me throughout my ordeal!

When it became clear last autumn that I was going to face a “totting up” disqualification I was extremely upset and worried that if I lost my licence then I would lose my job. Therefore I took the decision to seek legal advice on the matter. I must have called at least 6 law firms before I called PattersonLaw; one person said they could not possibly represent me, as I had no chance of avoiding a full 6 month totting ban. Some others quoted a price that I simply could not afford, and some did not seem to have much of an idea about motoring law! As such when I called PattersonLaw I was becoming quite disheartened and had almost given up on finding someone to help me. I was very quickly put straight through to Emma, with whom I was immediately very impressed. She was not fazed by my situation, and instantly came up with several possible solutions regarding my case that none of the previous solicitors I had spoken to had mentioned. I decided on the spot that I would use Patterson Law for my legal representation. I was assigned Rachel Ballamy as my Case Progression Officer. I cannot speak highly enough of Rachel; she was incredibly efficient, friendly and switched on - in short a godsend. Like Emma, she was completely non-judgemental (even though we subsequently found out that I had two more speeding allegations in the pipeline that I had not been aware of, on top of my original three speeding allegations). I won’t go into detail as my case was quite complicated; in short, at one stage I was looking at 5 speeding allegations and 3 failure to identify offences, on top of an original 6 points. By the time I went into the courtroom I only had 3 speeding allegations to plead guilty to; Rachel had succeeded in having my failure to identify allegations withdrawn and we had managed to avoid two of the speeding allegations. I had discussed everything with Rachel at length and we decided that I should submit a plea of exceptional hardship. Going to court was nerve wracking to say the least, however it was incredibly reassuring to have a barrister with me, Mr Crumley, who had been fully briefed on my case by Rachel. Mr Crumley invited me to go into the courtroom to watch the two cases before me. Neither of the gentlemen had legal representation, and they were both heavily penalised by the magistrates. I firmly believe that had I gone to court without legal representation, I would have undoubtedly been given a full 6 month totting ban and a much greater fine. However Mr Crumley put my case across in the best possible manner and the end result was that I received a reduced totting ban of 28 days, after which the points will be wiped from my licence. I am absolutely delighted with this result; the 28 days is nearly over now and I am so relieved that when I am back on the road, the points will be gone. I cannot thank Emma Patterson enough and particularly Rachel who was a constant source of reassurance; always sure of the facts, utterly pragmatic, and always one step ahead. I completely trusted her to do the right thing and felt that she genuinely had my best interests at heart. If I had lost my licence and job I would have been absolutely devastated - now my life is nearly back to normal and I am incredibly grateful to Patterson Law for this.

I just wanted to say thank you for the truly excellent service yourself and the Patterson Law team provided me with. Over several months you were totally professional,very reassuring, and able to clearly explain to me what was quite a complex and involved process. You instilled me with confidence and the outcome was far better than I had dared hope for. Ed Counsell, the Barrister was well prepared and very diligent on my behalf. Overall I'm very happy with the result and would recommend Patterson Law without hesitation to anyone with a driving related matter.

The service and advice given was both professional and as it turned out, accurate, with me taking points rather than disqualification, as the Court chose not to disqualify (which was my preferred route), but the Court awarded 5 points rather than 6, so giving me some saving grace should I get a further offence.

Thank you so much for representing me recently and successfully defending 2x cases brought against me. I was very impressed with your service throughout and delighted with the results you achieved. You demonstrated your expertise on speeding matters and made short work of getting the issues resolved. On that basis, you were an excellent choice and worked out great value for money. Finally, thank you for arranging the reclaim of my costs and for the speedy refund. I wish you prosperity and continued success for the future.

I thought that Gurjeet was absolutely fantastic and it was really helpful that you spent some much time with me prior to the hearing. I am obviously very happy with the outcome and the work that you have done for me. Hopefully I wont need to use you again but I will pass your details on if anyone friends need in the future.

Overall I am very happy with all of the service I received. I was a bit wary at first but was kept updated and able to keep in touch, and get a response any time required. I was made to feel like a valued customer who case was important on an individual basis. Truly outstanding service.

Just a quick follow up to say thank you Hannah for all your hard work over the past few months. As I’m sure you’ll be aware by now, Nigel was successful in presenting our case on Monday and we got the outcome we were looking for. I honestly can’t fault his professionalism, or your determination for that matter, you’ve both been brilliant. Thanks once again Hannah, I’m certainly glad I had you on my side!

Thank You!!! Most kindly, it was a real pleasure talking with you also and all the advice was very helpful and professional.

For primary consultation with Ms Emma Patterson I felt like a positive outcome would be achieved and it was. Daniel, without yours & Ms Helen Randall's expertise in court it would have been a much different outcome & would have cost me my career & a financial disaster if I'ld have attempted to defend myself. I have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone.

I very much appreciated the time you gave to my concerns on the verdicts after I raised those with you. I was not wishing to appear belligerent and I believe you handled my expectations with curtesy and professionalism. Please also pass on my best wishes to Emma and Laura. From my initial conversation with Emma and Laura’s excellent representation in court I believe Patterson Law not only met but went beyond my expectations. I am in your debt and would have no hesitation in recommending Patterson Law to friends and acquaintances

Outstanding, I couldn’t have been happier and more pleased with the highly professional skills and caring approach that Mariam showed when she represented me in Court. She is a very special person, and a tribute to her Chambers.

Just a quick mail to let you know that things have worked out just as you said and I have been offered the course rather than getting a fine and points. Your advice went a long way to reduce the worry of the situation and I am extremely grateful for the expert knowledge you brought to bear at no cost to me. I will not hesitate in recommending you to all I come across as well as on social media. Thanks again to you and Hillary for the superb service.

Paula was fantastic. I couldn't have done it without your support, advice and knowledge. Totally worth the money, you are all stars.

Excellent service & communication from start to finish. Took care of all the paperwork we received. Kept us up to date on all progress. End result was much better than expected. We can't think of any way that you could improve on all that you have done & the service you have given us.

We would like to thank you for all your hard work on this case. From initial discussions, communicating our pleas, corresponding and putting forward mitigation. Without your help and guidance I can't see how a sympathetic outcome could have been achieved. The result you achieved has made Christmas come early for us. Thank you & keep up the good service that you provide.

Just a quick message to let you know that during a conversation with *** at Basildon Magistrates’ Court, he turned around and said "I always like dealing with you guys, you always know what you are talking about".

Thank you for speaking with me today. You explained with clarity and managed to add a human element which was very reassuring regardless of any outcome in my situation.

I was kept informed throughout. It was money well spent, thank you. You will struggle to improve, I was very happy with everything you did for me.

Jade Finnimore and the team, are amazing!!! The professionalisms, level and mannerisms in which the case was handle was beyond my expectation. My case was closed in less than 2 weeks and I had the hearing a year later, for that I thank you. Thank you I would recommend them to anybody that seriously wants to get their case sorted out ASAP!!

Can't Thank Dan Parks and my Barrister Selected by them enough, I was facing a 6 month totting ban and 6 points for driving at 103mph in a 70mph zone. I was at risk of loosing my job and with the help of Patterson Law they represented me at court and advised me how to plea after examining the evidence. I was given a 14 day ban 0 points and £423 fine, so overall it was so much more than I could ever of hoped for.

I was relieved & totally delighted by the outcome that Dan achieved for me. I can't imagine how you could do a better job than you did, thank you again.

Thank you Graham. Your sensitivity and understanding was of great help to me. Never again! Please pass on my thanks to everyone who helped me. I am on the mend finally.

Totally excellent from start to finish. Am more than happy to recommend you to anyone with a traffic law problem.

I would just like to say a great big thank you as I now only have 5 points and I get to keep my license. All your help had been very much appreciated, and I will highly recommend you, once again thank you.

We have been most grateful for your instant and exceptional help over a speeding fine problem recently. We were unaware of the date of the court hearing and consequently given a large fine in our absence, which arrived out of the blue by post and was extremely distressing. Your sympathetic and comprehensive advice was so much appreciated at such a difficult time, and as a result we were able to arrange a Statutory Declaration at the local Magistrates Court to set aside the original case and re-apply for a new date for the hearing on 18 January. Although we decided at the last minute to change the not-guilty plea to a 'guilty plea with mitigating circumstances' we were grateful to receive the standard fine of £120 and the prosecutor generously agreed to waive his fees of £85 to keep our costs down. The downside of course is the 3 penalty points, but at least we have been saved any more hassle and uncertainty of costs.

I just want to say thank you for your support through this, I would have broken down but was very helpful and reassuring. I'm sure I will not need you again but will readily pass on your details to anyone else who may need your motoring law expertise.

I only contacted PattersonLaw after Magistrates court placed 12 points on my licence & a 6 month ban. My solicitor was not a motoring law specialist even though he professed to be. He didn't represent me well in court & advised me not to appeal. After you took over my case, you instilled a confidence to appeal, set out an excellent case along with providing a professional, experienced barrister to represent me. At appeal, all the points were taken off my licence along with the 6 month driving ban. I wish I had approached you initially. Without doubt, true experts in your field.

The quality of service and help I received was excellent. My case handler, Kelly was very professional and did a great job in advising me and helping me gather all the right information needed to get the outcome I wanted. I was very happy with level of communication and access available and was reassured by the quick responses to my queries and concerns. I couldn't afford to lose my license for an extended period of time due to the treatment my wife was going through. Patterson Law really helped us get through this difficult period and got the result that we wanted.

Patterson Law, Graham Brown and his team in particular, were excellent making arrangement of people and places. It has been a pleasure working with them. On the one hand we hope we will not need there services but if so then we will not hesitate to contact Patterson Law. They do just what they say in their publicity material.

Two Drink Drive Allegations in 2 years - Both defended successfully. First offence I registered 153 mg's and faced a sentencing guideline of 12 weeks imprisonment, disqualification, fines etc. as it is over 4 times the limit - I received; 100 Hrs community service, £85 Costs ( The minimum the CPS can ask for!), £60 Victim surcharge, no points and no disqualification. Second offence; a vehicle I & 9 others have access to was involved in a damage only accident. Police came to my house & I blew 149 which is over four times the limit, but I had been drinking all day out on foot and indoors prior to my arrest as it was new years eve. The case against me was immediately withdrawn in court, in that it failed the Crown Prosecution Service code for prosecution. Without your legal advice I would have been hung out to dry on both occasions. Thank you to everyone who helped me.

1st Class from start to finish, thank you.

Hi Rebecca, Thanks for your message and yes, as happy as I can be receiving a driving ban for 2 weeks. To be fair I think Ricardo did well with the challenge given that all my supporting documentation was pointing towards an allocation of points and not a ban. 2 weeks is a reasonable inconvenience that I can manage with work and personal life. Anything more would have been a real issue. Thanks for your help and support leading up to today. Many thanks to Emma too for the guidance all those months ago (May !) much appreciated. Now going to pay my fine!
