Single Justice Procedure Notice
By: North-London Date: March 4, 2026, 9:29 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Been charged for using a mobile phone and driving through red
lights.
true story, I was driving through a serious RTC with a car
overturned and full of police and ambulance crew on a junction.
Manor House in north London.
I had passenger in my car at the back and was showing him the
scene and pointing towards the right side of carriageway just at
junction. As approached the junction a police officer stationed
ahead signalled me to drive forward as the junction was getting
clogged up. I listened to his order and did not take note of the
traffic light being red which I have no recollection of the
colour.
A few days latter i receive a NOIP from an officer that claims
that i was using a phone to record the scene and that i drove
through the red light. He claims he gave chase to my car and
that i sped off which if he thinks i sped off and feels i made a
mockery of him, which i think its the reason he went against me
now and says that i was using a phone and went through red
light.
i intend to plead not guilty but want to hear advise from here.
or should i take a solicitor?

If you plead not guilty in response to the SJPN your case will
be listed for trial. You should already have the evidence the
police intend to rely on to convict you. I imagine that consists
of a statement from the police officer involved.
Presumably you will disagree with that evidence so you will have
to ask for the officer’s attendance at your trial to give
evidence in person. You (or your solicitor) will have to
cross-examine him to persuade the court that his evidence cannot
be relied upon.
Cross-examination is a skill which even some lawyers have
difficulty mastering.

Thanks for pre-emptively telling us that it is a true story.
Saves wasting time assuming that you made it up.
However, if you had gone to the trouble of making something up,
at least presumably the story would have contained some relevant
details (albeit that they would have been untrue).
Where were you in relation to this traffic light when the
occifer instructed you to move along?
I note that you do not explicitly deny using a phone.

What i meant as the true story, is at the time of the alleged
offence i did not know anything as this all happened in the
background and then was sent the alleged offence by post.
I did not use a phone and i was driving on the other side of the
carriageway and the office showing me to drive on was further
ahead.
I am sure that the officer has a body camera that i can ask for
to show the true version.
The officer must have felt a laughing mock by chasing after my
car and i did not notice and drove on. so i presume he made this
up.
I will take a professional lawyer to fight this out in court if
needed
