Regardless of the lens, it should be possible to judge the distance by reference to the width of your car and/or the lane. Don't forget that the required clearance must take account of your door mirrors.

Why have you pleaded guilty if your wife was driving? Or was it she who has been charged and pleaded? If it was, it would be helpful (especially given the difficulties you describe) if she were to post on her own behalf.

If your wife was driving it has nothing to do with you.

I presume you have named her as driver in accordance with the instructions on the notice and she has received her own (or she received it in her own name). She would then indicate her intent to plead not guilty.

It might be useful for you to clarify what has been done otherwise a larger problem will exist.

Putting the photo on an image hosting site and the address for a Google maps link would enable a much better judgement of the distance.

Wide angle lenses make distances look further, not closer.You get the effect of compression from long lenses.
