Can any one tell me what the defination of offence code "622" x speed means? I was pulled over on a motorway by a lone traffic officer who said "you know why I have pulled you over don't you" I replied no. She said I have been following you (I knew that, she was in a range Rover). Bythe the way she she pulled in front of me as if to leave the motorway at J4 M57, so I pulled out into the middle lane to let her go. She changed her mind and took off after me. Flashed me, I stopped and walked to her car. She said you were speeding at over 100 mph. Rubbish, I had my mum and an who are not spped freaks in Ford Puma. She said stopped youbecause you shoud not over take a Police Car? If you accepted this fixed penalty ticket we will leave it at that. Contest it and we will have to go court and I will tell them your true speed! Time of event 1440. I was not even exceedin 70 mph. Advice on definition of code 622 x speeding pls. Thanks cyrilbiker.

appeal it. she would be incredibly stupid to appose you on the facts that you have given us. secondly, I doubt there would be any evidence on record of your "100mph", so she would only be able to give oral evidence. quite frankly she would be getting herself in trouble, sounds like blackmail on her side
It should be penalty code 50, I'm sure.

On Monday telephone your local police station and ask to speak to a traffic officer for an explanation of the code.
Thinking about it this is all very odd. If you were exceeding 100mph you cannot be dealt with by way of FPN - you have to go to court.

As for not overtaking a police car, that is a complete nonsense.

Thanks Ethel and Nhozu. You have both confirmed my feelings about the occurrance and how 100 mph + is an instant ban. I am off the police station with my producer now and hopefully an explanation of the code 622. I do not intend to leave it as it stands anwers are required. I wil keep you informed of the outcome. Thks again Cyrilbiker
Individual Police Authorities use their own internal offence codes and are used in conjunction with a simple description.

From the information given I presume that Merseyside Police use 622 to signify "speeding".

Thanks Kempie, not really what I wanted hear but vert informative. I will still be seeking advice from a solicitor who for what I believe is a "blackmail effort at a fit up" to increase local police funds.
Be careful, the police car probably had a calibrated speedometer which would afford the police the corroboration required t prosecute excess speed.

The 622 MAY refer to the distance travelled - ie speed measured at 622 yards - ultimatley the code really doesn't affect the outcome does it.

100mph + does not mean an automatic ban -its a myth.
thats strange,i was stopped on the m57 on 7-4-09 at the asda end by a lone male officer, when asked how fast i thought i was going i said 70 as all police traffic cars are recorded,he said he clocked me doing 117mph on a digital readout by the side of the seat ,same with you i was asked if i was willing to take the �60 quid fine and the 3 points,I welcomed it as the car i have will do just under 200 and i wasnt far off it so does this mean that there just making it up as they go along? and yes i there was only me and the car behind me on that strech of the motorway as i wouldnt have put my foot down if there had been any traffic in front of me
