I am not sure I believe that. Not unless people stupidly include too many details. We all use aliases on this forum and whilst it wouldn't take much to find out who someone is, I think the chance of the prosecution services scanning for posts like this and then going to the trouble of establishing the identity of the person behind them is rather small.
Firstly I did not sat the prosecution services AKA CPS,
I know for absolute certainity that this happens, but only if a case is defended.
All the posts, on every forum, are read by certain people and, in this case, the facts already disclosed will easily identify this person if he pleads not guilty.
There are many people, on this forum, who know what I am talking about.
Printouts from this forum and Pepipoo have been used, in court and in statements, to convict a driver, this is from my own personal knowledge and not hearsay.
If anyone has been accused of exceeding the speed limit, and that is the offence, and they admit the offence then they are guilty and no one can or will defend them.
If they say they were speeding but not at the speed claimed, then they are still guilty but the punishment may be mitigated.
Only if they state they were not exceeding the speed limit will anyone defend them
