Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: SJP speeding & F2F dual charges. How to respond?

Thanks. I'm fine with the 3 points for the speeding, just want to avoid the additional 6 points for the s172 if at all possible. I didn't mean to imply that I feel I have mitigating circumstances - perhaps I phrased it poorly. I just don't know if my circumstances would allow me to do "the deal" and if so how to actually go about it.

Speeding and other criminal offences / SJP speeding & F2F dual charges. How to respond?
« on: January 07, 2026, 05:44:03 pm »
I've just received a SJPN with 2 charges:
For context, I moved house earlier this year and whilst I had updated the address on my driving licence, I had not, at that time, updated my V5C address.
I have read elsewhere that standard advice is to plead not guilty to both offences and in the mitigating circumstances section, offer to plead guilty to the speeding offence on the condition that the failure to provide information offence is dropped. Have I understood this correctly?
Does anyone have any guidance on what to state in terms of mitigating circumstances. I've read elsewhere warnings to not provide too much information and that coming across as arrogant has led to prosecutors responding more harshly.
I currently have no points on my licence and would like to minimise them if possible.
Thanks very much.
- Offence 1: Failed to give information relating to the identification of the driver of the vehicle
- Offence 2: Speed exceeding 30 miles per hour - 35 MPH
