The dash cam date and time are highly unlikely to be wrong. The GPS unit in the dash cam gets regular checks on exact time (to within thousandths of a second), because GPS relies on perfectly accurate timekeeping (think about it, the more exact you know where you are and what speed you're doing, the more accurate your record of time needs to be)

So fighting it on that basis is a complete failure.

Now, it is a LEGAL obligation on your boss to keep accurate records of who is driving a vehicle, and when. Failure to do so is a criminal offence.

So it isn't you in a pickle quite as much as you think - he's the one in trouble.

The current law, implemented by the Tories, is appalling. By the way, I vote Tory.

It's at least a little better than it was in that where recourse to the Employment Tribunal is needed there are no longer prohibitive fees. The Supreme Court's decision, in effect a lesson on constitutional rights delivered to the Lord Chancellor, is a wonderful piece of irony.

Not just companies, families need to keep these records too.

Michael (Lord) Howard was convicted of failing to provide details:

"He said: 'It could be me, it could be my wife. We make that journey regularly and we can't remember who was driving."

What seems to have particularly upset the court was:

However, Lord Howard should have initially given full details of who the other driver could have been, including name, age and address, rather than simply saying his "wife".

"At no stage did the defendant provide the particulars of his wife in his letter. To simply refer to his 'wife' does not provide sufficient information.

The conviction was overturned by the high court but few could take it that far.

Compare this to a case in the Cleveland police area. Admittedly old and the heads of that force criticised the outcome but I think it has happened since.

Detective Superintendent Adrian Roberts, “told traffic police he could not recall who was driving his car when it was photographed speeding in a built-up 30mph area.”

“[He] was sent a fixed penalty order by post but the ticket was withdrawn after he said he could not remember if he was in the car.”

“The speed camera photograph had been taken from behind and showed a man with short dark hair. She [ACC Cannings] declined to say whether any inquiries had been made to establish how many other people were entitled to drive Mr Roberts' private car.”
