Guilty until you can afford to be innocent
'Innocent’ driver admits offence to avoid cost of court defence
A company director has admitted a motoring offence he says he has not committed after becoming one of the first to be caught by controversial new rules on court costs.
Ian Harrison says he cannot afford to take his case to court because even if he won he would have to pay nearly all his legal bills of at least £2,000.
The 53-year-old has instead opted to accept a £60 fine and three penalty points.
