I received a S59 for overtaking a dawdler, and it was reported by the dawdler! The dawdler was an off duty copper.
I know you think I must have been doing Mach2 tearing up the street, but in all honesty I just licked it past him after being frustrated at < 25mph indicated.
The crazy thing was, that 2 other people overtook him before me, but I made the mistake of actually slowing back down after the safe overtake. This gave him enough time to speed up (yes, I know) match my speed and take my number; why do I know this? Because he knocked on my door later that evening (in uniform) explaining that he was giving me a Section 59.
I didn't even know what a Section 59 was until that point. He wasn't rude at all, and I was polite, but I did point out he was driving under the speed limit and others felt it necessary to overtake him too, I could tell he felt almost embarrassed, he seemed new to the job and I had the feeling he was trying to stack up some brownie points by issuing this thing. He still issued it though.
Moral of the story, the Section 59 law is abhorrent and open to misuse... the copper becomes judge, jury and executioner - you are guilty and that's that.
It feels so unlawful, but isn't, so what can you do?
