Bugger. Turns out the original offence leading to the request for confirmation of the driver

[Monty91]

was speeding (62 in a 50).

Now, how do I play this at the magistrate's court when they ask why I hadn't notified the DVLA of my change of address? Do I confess to forgetting, or is there a smarter, less..ahem...truthful...option?

So now you're admitting to it whereas earlier you were in France?

Hold your hand up,apologise profusely,throw yourself at the mercy of etc
You can make it a much more serious case if you tell porkies and are caught

[Maravilloso Marvo]

You really need to slow down Monty. Or at least learn what those big yellow boxes are at the side of the road.

[Monty91]

and simply refers to the date by which I was required to supply the information.

I was caught speeding back in APril (on the way back from the ****ing mother in law's :shout: )

[Monty91]

in my effort to overturn the charge of failing to identify the driver.

But equally Monty cannot use it as an excuse or reason for not receiving the original notice as it is of his doing.

He's f**ked.

I could represent you if you want.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news here old fruit but "it is evidence against you"

[Classic Jorge]

In fact, you've worked like a trojan to trace this all back, tigerishly dashing between police and magistrates court. This process has caused you significant stress and heartache so mortified are you. You're a straight citizen, Christ you have a baby on the way.

If anything you are the victim here, the victim of a cruel and judgemental judicial system. You should not be hung, drawn and quartered on the basis of an administrative oversight.

[Monty91]

there'd been a fúck up on the police's part.

[Monty91]

reason to throw the book at me.

It is not "evidence" of anything else.

And of course slow down in the future. One or two more and you're licence is gone.

[Berni]

[Monty91]

the magistrate will reinstate it.

Best case scenario is that this ends up costing me less than if I'd paid the original fine.

Some of that £1,045 is bailiff charges so they will obviously not apply either.

[Classic Jorge]

Let's face it, we've done it before

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

My experience of them was that they were utter arseholes.
