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.

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.
Class result, fair play to you for standing up for yourself, well done.
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!
Well done no matter how confident you are it's always a worry glad it's behind you now 👍
You handled that like a pro! Very impressive. So glad you won.
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!
Well done Adz, you kept your head when others would have lost theirs all the while maintaining no malice. Truly a class act.
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.
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! 👍🏻
Glad you won your case mate, well done.
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 👍🏻
Your a good bloke , i admire how you dealt with all that
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.
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!!
I, embarrassingly, got caught drink driving in 2001. I also chose to not "Lawyer up" against the recommendations of "general consensus". I went to court and expressed my genuine remorse, embarrassment and appreciation of the potential devastation I could I caused that night!!!! Of the 6 people in court that day accused of D/D, I was the only one with no lawyer, yet the only one offered a D/D awareness course (which I accepted) which subsequently reduced my 12 month ban by 3 months. I fully appreciate and understand that these are wholly, completely, different circumstances, but sometimes "Lawyering up" implies arrogance and downright disregard for the law; hence you need someone else to fight your battle for you!!!. Every situation is different; and getting a defence lawyer may not always be the best way to deal with a particular situation. Just my tuppence worth. Have a strapping pint on me Old Bean and congrats!!! Much Love and happy, safe travels .
Thank you so much Mark!! It’s appreciated mate!!
And yeah I completely agree. They asked why I chose not to have legal help and I said it’s because the way I see it. Solicitors are there to find loopholes to get you out of trouble (I know in reality that’s not all they do). But that was my reasoning. I said I have nothing that needs to be presented in a certain way as I just want to tell things how they were. I think not having a solicitor was definitely part of what helped me in this situation so I do agree with you on that!
Thanks for the update, I was wondering how this turned out. Very glad justice prevailed.
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 👌
Well done Adz!
Congrats with the case and looking forward to youre trip
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
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! 🎉
Pleased about that result. Looking forward to the more important issue; your adzventures!
Well done mate for standing your ground.
Well done on the court case!
Happy days, you can finally shut the door on that one 👏👏👏
Looking forward to this next adventure 👌
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 👍
2 good outcomes, truth prevailed, plus that humbled accusers focus will be on point going forward! congratz!
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!!
👏👏👏👏❤❤❤ 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. 😁❤👍
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?
Just remember they are not nice people. Thats just soft intimidation tactics to get to admit you are guilty.
A lot of people earlier this year ended up with prison time for falling for those tactics and not fighting it out in court.
Well done, young man! There are so many negative key board 'warriors' out there who seem to be out to foist their negativity upon us all. One in the face for them. Bravo.
Great result Adz, I’m really pleased for you mate 👍🏻
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. 😉👍🏻
Wowsers, I was in court once for work and I was nervous just giving evidence / let alone what you did 😮
well done on the court case, mint result
Nice one Adz, great result, good advice. Good on ya! atb
Good result and well done for seeing it through!
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
Congradulations Adz well done nice to see you stood to them.
Many people wouldn't .
Great flog
Thanks
Well done you! And thank you for sharing. It hopefully will help other people that find themselves in the same unpleasant situation. xxx
Well done🎉 to you. Great news for you to stand up to them.
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 🤣🙈
Well done. Great result 🎉
I was one of the sceptics but I’m glad I was wrong, congrats on the win
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
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.
You bloody leg-end! Difficult thing to pull off that, I bet the judges were secretly impressed. I am.
Good lad, correct outcome.
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
Well done on the court case win mate! 🙌🏻 I mean it was only right that it was the outcome but still, it could have gone the wrong way too!
Wish you the best for the trip, drive safe, currently in Croatia enjoying the sunshine and 24 degrees 😁
I'm so happy for you.😃 This whole fining people for nothing nonsense is exasperating. Glad you didn't give in.
Enjoy those sunrises!
Well done mate
Good on you adz, respect....
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
Congratulations Adz! Can’t wait for your trip update! Where can I buy an Adz hoodie please? Cheers.. Kim n Jez ❤
Winning court cases and chewing sunsrises.....so ferkuking proud mate.
Smashed it. 😎
Good luck onyour travels
Well done.
Get in mate, can’t wait for the next euro journey. 😊
I was wrong, your not that much of a plonker. Well done you, ❤
Well done adz lad 👍
Nicely done. All the best. 👍🚐😎
I had the self same one (dodgy usb/charging box) and it blew my fuse box. I now only buy branded electronic stuff from legit stores.
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.
Nicely done , sometimes you have to stand up for yourself rather than pay up and shut up!!
I got accused of this mistakenly too, I was leaning on my ear. They made a mistake.
I can't wait for my van to be done, to start my adventures
For the love of god, two sunrises in one week? Epic!
I am absolutely delighted to hear you were found not guilty. It was clear from your previous video evidence that you do not hold your phone whilst driving and this in itself throws into question the ‘evidence’ against you. There is a golden thread enshrined in U.K. law regarding ‘identification evidence’ stated in the case R-v-Turnbull. In that case the judge made it clear that no matter how certain a witness is about (his) identification evidence, (he) could still be very much mistaken. That same principle applies to any case where the only evidence is that of an individuals evidence about what he believed he saw. That and you excellent cross examination in which you highlight the officer’s inconsistencies and errors on the day in question left the magistrates with no alternative. They had to conclude that the burden of proof on the prosecution to show that you had committed the offence (beyond all reasonable doubt) had not been met. You have also shown that it is best to ignore comments from people who by their very language, evidence their bias against the police when commenting.
Well played Adz
Well done son! Proud of ye.
well done bro
100% of vids I've watched on YT today are flogging power stations and/or solar panels lol. Besides that observation I'm glad you stood your ground. Good old Pett Level park up :)
That must have been a relief 👍
Well done 👍👍👍
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 ! Gotta be honest I would have gone for compensation just on principle, and maybe the officer will be a bit more focused in future, because his bosses won't be too happy about it. You did well defending yourself, did you do any reading or just followed your own thinking?
Well done for standing your ground 😊
Well done bruv 👊
👏🎉Congratulations 🎉👏
The truth should always prevails! I would go for the compensation, it is your right. They would happily of given you 6 points and have taken your money illegally so get you rightfully owed compensation.
Good for you , congrats on your win . The bit that annoys me about what happened to you, is that not everyone is clever enough or brave enough to do what you did , in standing up for yourself , so they would have just had to swallow the fine and the points , even though they didn't do anything . The police guy should have documented his evidence better, not just to protect himself but to safeguard you also . I'm glad you won , it's a leg up for the little guys .🙂
We need a bektoria video .with angles 😅🎉
Amongst the comments I do hope the person giving the negative outcome forecast has the legal knowledge to realise he’s bound by courtesy to APOLOGISE!
Cheers lad !
Good result. As a young 'un in the seventies I used to respect our local bobby in my small Wiltshire town and even received a clip 'round the ear for setting off bangers in the high street. Better that than him telling my Dad!
Almost fifty years later, living maybe twenty miles away still in Wiltshire, I wouldn't trust a copper as far as I could throw him or her and if I ever get pulled over my phone will be recording everything. It's a bloody shame that you can't trust the police any more but it's their own fault for putting people through nonsense like you've just gone through.
Seems proper policing is just too difficult so let's pick on easy targets and waste everybodies' time.
@Adz tbh kent plod are not the best i was arrested as my physco ex made allegations against me had plod checked it out peoperly as i stated i was 250 miles away at the time the alledged incident took place ! But well done for standing your ground and winning
nice one geezerrrrrrrr 👍👍👍
On your journeys, you want to learn as much from the languages along the way (My Uncle surprised himself back in the 1980/90's and speaks fluent Italian now!
I really hope you had your phone records showing no calls in or out at the time specified....
Why? His calls in and out have nothing to do with the case as it's perfectly legal to make and receive calls while driving, that's the reason cars have controls on the steering wheel that answer calls and stuff so you don't break the law by touching your phone, because it's legal to use your phone while driving as long as your not touching it. plus even if it was illegal to make or receive calls, that info from his phone wouldn't prove he wasn't doing other things on his phone. The only time someone's call history would be used, is if there was an accident and the police wanted to prove that even though the person wasn't doing anything illegal they was probably still distracted by the phone call
Top man well done
Quality 🔥🔥🔥
That is the one 🎉🎉 gutted you couldn’t make a video of you in court. That would would’ve been funny as F#*k 😂
Fair play 👏👏
Glad you won mate.
Alright Adz, glad you won your court case. Couldn't the copper just look at your phone to see when your last call was.
Man's living large M&S food 😋 👌
You are the ONE😊
