Dont bother to enterain me lady, as once again you did not read the posts properly the 8.00.000 referred to last year (2012) those appeal figures will be released hopefully later this year. Check the years properly 2009/10 and 2008/9
Mrs C, Once again you dont seem to read the posts. In one year In London last year 68 per cent of drivers who took their case to the independent adjudicator won their appeal.
