Yes just the one charge of failing to provide driver info, yep point taken RE mail services.

By absolute chance it is the MP for the area of the police who are prosecuting.

CAB and OfCom are much more generic but I hope to paint the picture (in line with recent developments) that the post office isn’t the revered institution it was once was…

Thanks

In terms of applying law to facts, if I can present issues with Royal Mail services (evidenced by Citizens Advice Bureau, MPs calling for improved services, reviews of failings from Ofcom etc), is there an idea on how this would be viewed by the court as a defence?

Yes I am the registered keeper of the car (and have been for a long time so no room for argument around the correct details I’m afraid!)

Do you have any thoughts around how I can explain that I genuinely didn’t receive anything about this offence except the court outcome?

Trying to disprove receiving post is proving tricky!

Yes driver details on v5c are correct for owner of the car, but for the initial alleged offence I never received a SJP or request for driver details (initial offence of speeding was back in Sept 2023).

In June earlier this year I received a letter with a magistrate court outcome, though I didn’t receive the court summons for the trial / hearing!

I then called the court / justice line, who advised to complete a Stat Dec which I did at a local magistrate court and have since been sent a new court date. At the Stat Dec I can’t remember if I had to enter a plea but I do recall saying not guilty but can’t remember what that was for.

Is the new court date to begin the process of failing to provide driver info or back to the original offence?

Thanks again!

Hi,
I'm in a bit of a quandary of sorts, I didn't get any letters asking me to advise who was driver of the vehicle for a speeding offence, I then get a letter which says result of court case, I rang the court and they told me complete a statutory court declaration, which I did. I've now been given a trial date for 'failing to give information on the id of the driver'
What does this mean?
I have absolutely had no letters prior to the result of your case letter. Last year I had a similar situation, I received the initial letter I replied, then I followed it up with a phone call and was told they hadn't received my reply, they did then offer me a speed awareness.
In this case, I would have responded as I wasn't driver.
