#5 Speeding and failure to notify
on 29 Feb, 2024 14:00 in Speeding and other criminal offences
Speeding and failure to notify who driver was.I am in England. In Sept I was caught speeding, was sent the letter but I only got this letter in Jan as it was sent to the wrong address (neighbour had been holding on to it and just forgot to give it to me).I emailed the ticket office as 28 days had passed and they opened up the online portal so I could pay the £100. So I paid the fine, and sent my license details off but forgot to send the driver nomination form.I have been sent a single justice procedural notice today to charge me for speeding and for failing to name a driver. I don't know what to do, I have paid this fine on 9th Feb and accepted the points so I don't want to plead guilty to the speeding as I have already acknowledged it. In terms of the nomination letter it was an honest mistake, the last few months have been really stressful after being a victim of a crime myself (arson, my car was set fire to at work followed by a malicious email - they never found who did it). I took over a month off work and found a new job because I felt like I couldn't work there any more. Started new job mid Jan.Does anyone have any advice for me as I don't want a 1k fine and 6 points for what was an honest mistake.Thank you
