There was an incident 14 months ago (which I already discussed in previous van life episodes), that led to me having to attend a court date. And at the time I said I'd update you on what happens. So this is what this video is about.
But of course, in this video I also take the campervan out, cook some food in the van, and find a park up by the beach in the UK.

While i would never recommend anyone represent themselves in court, well done! You stood up and didn't let yourself be pushed around. Good job!
You say that but I had the same thing in a speeding case, you have to do your homework and play the game, but not always the case that you need legal rep
@@DashDriver-z1r I think that's better advice. Do your homework if u feel competent enough to play the game.
@@DashDriver-z1r I agree with you entirely. The thing is with the police, they are so used to intimidating people when it comes to traffic matters as most people will just buckle. What worries me is that so many coppers don't even know the laws they're supposed to be policing.
I went to the Magistrate's for non-insurance and as a professional vehicle operator that could have had very serious implications for my legal repute and entitlement to hold an operating licence. The actual evidence against me was "...and, Sir, the defendant was not on the Motor Insurance Database and so..."
My defence was in the form that the Road Traffic Act requires insurance. I did have insurance and presented my policy documents as well as a witness from the insurance company who had attended Court to confirm under oath that cover was in force. The problem was that the copper thought- mistakenly- that if it wasn't on the MID then it wasn't insured... But that's nonsense. I have a vehicle out now that is insured but only joined the fleet on Friday and isn't on the MID yet. Though the vehicle we sold a week earlier is no longer on our insurance but is showing on the MID.
A colossal waste of Court time- and mine. All because a copper didn't know the law. What worries me is how that charge got through his Sergeant, Inspector and CPS.
Well done, mate. I'm glad truth and justice were on your side.
I love how you handled yourself in court. Your attitude throughout the whole ordeal shows your humble and kind. I’m proud of you.
Well done Adz, you kept your head when others would have lost theirs all the while maintaining no malice. Truly a class act.
Well done no matter how confident you are it's always a worry glad it's behind you now 👍
You won mate and that’s all that matters 👍 and as for that guy who commented that🖕🖕
I don’t think “that guy” was negative or against him, he was just stating how bad our justice system is!!
It happened to me years ago. Criminal damage. I thought I could represent myself but made a complete hash of it. Luckily the Magistrate was in a good mood and asked the caretakers the questions for me and he chucked the case out. To say I was happy was an understatement.
Top guy. Great personality, entertaining to watch and after this trip to court he's shown how humble he is. Shame his channel doesn't have more subs, definitely deserves more. Looking forward to the Europe trip!
I'm mainly glad you got to snare that smug tosser in the comments who thought they knew it all. Williwankstain or whatever his name was.
Glad it worked out.
I asked you how you was getting on with this case a few months ago, as I was personally upset about it, after getting stitched up by the Police years ago, even though we did nothing wrong.
Well done Adz, you are a good guy! 👍🏻
Well done mate, very humble and noble of you not seeking a deserved compensation. Love the videos and we are all looking forward to seeing your next adventure. Stay safe 👍🏻
Happy for you, to win in court. Onwards and upwards and glad it's behind you. Love your content and always tune in.
Bravo to you Adz for standing up for yourself and not letting bully you into paying a fine for something you didn't do! 👏👏 I find it quite scary that the police can just accuse you of something with no evidence and they go straight to issuing you with a punishment without even questioning it. If you weren't as switched on and as confident as you are, you might have felt pressured into just acceptint the punishment and not taking it further. And the fact the officer didn't even have to show up in court...such a joke! 🙄 Well, you showed them! 🎉
In normal cases like that they would ask the time of the incident plug your phone in check the last time you was on your phone job done
Hands free or not is the issue
Glad you won your case mate, well done.
You handled that like a pro! Very impressive. So glad you won.
Congratulations and well done 👏 ✔️ You took on the law...... and you won! Looking forward to your European/Turkish travels. I'm off to Morocco in a couple of weeks, so I'm excited about that 😊 Happy travels.
Well done for staying true and standing up for what was right!
Living the dream dude, love your calm demeanour and looking forward to the trip!
So pleased for your outcome! You’re smart as well as hilariously sharp witted and I’m impressed you represented yourself, I think, even if innocent, I’d be a nervous wreck. Love your channel and seeing it all continue to flourish! 🎉
I was wondering about whatever happened to the court thing. Very pleased justice (and your own smart analysis of the situation) won. Fur king great job!
Thanks for the update, I was wondering how this turned out. Very glad justice prevailed.
Congratulations on the win, just goes to show you don't just have to roll over and take it, fair play for sticking up for yourself as you knew you did nothing wrong. epic vid as always, looking forward to the upcoming adventure updates, keep up the great work!!
Well done successfully defending yourself in court. Is a good accomplishment. I respect it.
Well done Adz!
Buzzing you won in court especially when you have done nothing wrong,, watching a sunrise is amazing especially over the sea it starts your day with a smile
Always an enjoyable watch. Congratulations on wining your court case. An example to all.
O wow I’m so pleased for u Adzs, it must be a relief for it to be finally over, well done u for being brave enough to stand up in court to prove your innocence, nice one. Looking forward to seeing you next adventure. Stay safe, Maxx
Your a good bloke , i admire how you dealt with all that
Class result, fair play to you for standing up for yourself, well done.
Well done for winning your case. I understand the law around mobile usage has changed recently and there are a lot of cases going through the magistrates courts currently. 6 points is a lot if you need your license for work. I would strongly recommend others get legal advice as not everyone is as eloquent as yourself and generally they do take the officers word over yours. Take care👍
I believe the respect you showed the court and especially the police officer, showing yourself to be considerate and law abiding, went a long way to convince the court that you were only there to correct a mistake made by the officer and not seeking vengeance.
If you had gone at it with a crooked cop attitude, I’m sure the outcome would have been different and then your commentator would have been correct.
Great example on how to go about things when you know you’ve done no wrong. Integrity won the day.
Happy travels.
Great news on your court case. Epic burger too! I’ve been really pleased with my AllPowers R2500 and 400W folding solar panel, have added an extra MPPT controller to the van so I can connect the solar panel to that also. Have a good week, All the very best, David 👍
Congrats with the case and looking forward to youre trip
👏👏👏👏❤❤❤ well done Adz. Congratulations on your Victory in court. I knew you would come through good. The sunrise was awesome! All the best for your next adventures. 😁❤👍
Well done you for representing yourself & winning 🎉. Really looking forward to your journey across the channel ❤
At 12:30 I thought there is no way he can possibly achieve this. At 13:25 I was completely and utterly shocked. Two sunrises in a week is insane!! Glad the court case went well for you mate. Enjoy the Europe trip, looking forward to the videos 👌
Dash cam which records the cab/you.
Protects you from 'bad observation ' plus you can use some of the footage for your vids.
Win/Win
Well done 👍 on the win 🥇
I’m up at 4 every morning and see the sun 🌞 rise everyday
Thanks 🙏

Crikey!
Well done ! You didn’t hand your power to a solicitor or lawyer who don’t care about you. Seriously well handled 🎉
Well done on your court case and for standing up for yourself. You deserve a big pat on the back.
Well done with representing yourself in court and your win. Did similar myself on an Employment Tribunal, and it felt bloody fantastic. Courts are a bit confusing and scary. Nice one👍
Well done..Great news ....love it when you can win and do it well .
Well done Adz, it sounds like a superb performance in court. Well done for being humble as well, so many would take the opportunity to milk it, and you just wanted justice, which was due. My hat is off to you, Sir. 😉👍🏻
Well done mate for standing your ground.
Well done Adz just goes to show the truth will always come out.
Looking for to seeing your travels down south and beyond 😮
Well done you, I'm proud of you!!!. I'm pretty sure you put a lot of hard work into preparing for the case so well done. Xx
Well done on standing up for justice mate 👏🏼
Good result and well done for seeing it through!
Congradulations Adz well done nice to see you stood to them.
Many people wouldn't .
Great flog
Thanks
Hi, Firstly, I am over the moon and so happy for you, that you were found "Not Guilty" it was obvious from your very first video on the matter that you had not been on your phone. I am really impressed with the way you handled this, by not showing anger and blowing your lid. You dealt with this in a calm collective and very professional way. The issue the police officer had is he let his ego get the best of him, just like many a person would have done in a similar situation and instead of holding his hand up and admitting he had made a mistake in his observation, (especially after you explained and literally showed him how there was no way you had been on your phone), he decided to try to save face by trying to push you into a corner and get you to admit to something you had not done. This was then backed up with the summons to go to court and threats of an even bigger fine alongside the 6 points you would get if you lost the case. "Well Done" for holding your cool and fighting this to the end because many a lesser individual would have just caved in and accepted the fine and 6 points. Mainly due to being scared of the unknown and frightened due to idiots saying things like they will always side with the police when its one against one, despite the police officer actually having no evidence what so ever of the crime being committed by yourself. Finally what impressed me the most and goes a long way to show the integrity and honesty of you as a person is how you declined to go for compensation against the police for this incorrect accusation. I personally would have done the same as you but I would hazard a guess, a high majority of people would see £££ signs in their eyes and have gone for the compensation regardless.
Here to second your statement about Adzs integrity and honesty in this matter, didn't play the victim and try and milk the system. I would be interested to understand if there is any mechanism within the police force to retrain the officer after losing a case?
Love your style, love your language skills... always a pleasure to watch! And well done to stand your grounds in court!
Well done mate you handled that very professionally 👌
New battery power, new solar, sun rises, juicy burgers and an overnight stealth camp, news of an née adventure, and a court win, you know how to pack it all in and treat us, brilliant news, thanks Adam you're a legend
I'm so happy for you.😃 This whole fining people for nothing nonsense is exasperating. Glad you didn't give in.
Enjoy those sunrises!
Great result Adz, I’m really pleased for you mate 👍🏻
Victory in the face of injustice! Some police officers make mistakes, and unfortunately, some even fabricate stories. A few seem to think they're above the law, on a power trip where they're always right and never wrong. Well, congratulations on overcoming those ones.
In principle, you absolutely earned your compensation and should have accepted it for the inconvenience and stress you went through. It would also serve as a reminder to the thousands of people wrongfully convicted that they should fight for what is right, and as a lesson to that officer-and others like him-to be more diligent and observant in the future.
Once again, congratulations, buddy. Very well done. I can't express how pleased I am to hear this news. Have a great day, and enjoy your trip wherever it takes you, my friend!
Pleased about that result. Looking forward to the more important issue; your adzventures!
Well done on the court case!
Happy days, you can finally shut the door on that one 👏👏👏
Looking forward to this next adventure 👌
Nice one mate just shows it can be done and as you say you had done nothing wrong and proved it really chuffed for you
well done on the court case, mint result
Nice one Adz, great result, good advice. Good on ya! atb
2 good outcomes, truth prevailed, plus that humbled accusers focus will be on point going forward! congratz!
Nice one mate , made up for you , looking forward to watching your new adventures, take care 👍
I was wrong, your not that much of a plonker. Well done you, ❤ love it when the little person takes on the big guns and win. You believed in yourself and conquered
Great Video! I live just down the road Great place to be in the morning to see the early sun rise from the beach . well done with the court case.
Glad you won your case can’t wait for this new adventure series 🤠
Well done you! And thank you for sharing. It hopefully will help other people that find themselves in the same unpleasant situation. xxx
Good to hear this. Great video again.
Well done🎉 to you. Great news for you to stand up to them.
Brother! I love your channel your a great great TH-camr, I also soon will be travelling through Europe in my van, god bless you brother and continue the great content,
Well done Adz! Roll on the Europe trip videos! Looking forward to them 😀
Watching Adz adventures like a weekly TV show. Keep the great content up! I picked up an Eco Flow Delta 2 for my T5. Also picked up a 130W Solar panel in the Amazon sale. The solar panel was picking up 30W input in direct sunlight and kept dropping to zero with the tiniest bit of cloud. I decided it was crap and sent it back...
well done buddy great out come and looking forward to you next adventure JT......
The absolute right thing to do was to challenge the case. When you're in the right, all you have to do is tell the truth. The easiest job in the world.
Well done. Something that seems to simple can become difficult when people say everything is against you.
I had something along similar lines in a work related dispute (someone said id done/said something I knew I hadn't). The individual changed their story, contradicted themselves, I just told the truth. Work had to apologise for suspending me when i was the one who raised to HR, which should have said it all. That individual moved to a different department with a pay cut, I left the company and now earn double in a higher role.
Keep up the cracking vids💪🏼
Great news Adz, i'm chuffed for you.
Wowsers, I was in court once for work and I was nervous just giving evidence / let alone what you did 😮
Well done son glad you fought it glad you won I have paid a few unlawfull fines cus I'm to old and knackered to put up the fight but I'm pleased to my soul that those who can will fight proud of you buddy
Well done lad for standing up for yourself ! 😎🌞
Wish you the best for the trip, drive safe, currently in Croatia enjoying the sunshine and 24 degrees 😁
Hats off to you mate 👏
well done in proving your innocents, a lot of people would have just accepted it and paid the fine and took the points, that's what the police hope will happen , bonus points for them
Well done. Great result 🎉
thats a great little spot between hastings and rye.
congrats on not getting the fine and points dude :D
Well done. Must have been a stressful time - though you seemed to enjoy the day in court 😊
Good lad, correct outcome.
Nice job Adz.
I was one of the sceptics but I’m glad I was wrong, congrats on the win
Good on you adz, respect....
Can’t wait for your Greece and Turkey videos! Be safe out there!
Thank you so much! It’s appreciate!
Super story! Subscribed! Justice is served! 😎🙌
Ckaim the compensation. It will put on record that the Police have had to make restitution if you are hassled by them in the future.
Well done, mate.
Well done glad to hear you won the case Adam. I thought it was mega unfair when you first spoke about it. And I can totally relate to the whole ignore it until it comes and slaps you in the face thing 🤣🙈
Nice one mate! I’ve just accepted a parking ticket despite it not being issued correctly but I just couldn’t be arsed to fight it for the sake of £25 but this video made me regret that just a little bit
Yeah as others have said well done mate, 6 points is a lot even without a fine. Glad you got it sorted and your a free man 🤣.
Not sure what I would have watched if you got taken off the road haha.
Looking forward to your next adventure. Drive safely mate.
Well played Adz
Well Done ! Looking forward to the euro trip
Get in mate, can’t wait for the next euro journey. 😊
Well done mate
