The letter that I have received does say on it summons to court, and says 'you are summonsed to attend the court sitting'
That surprises me, but it doesn't matter. The advice is the same.

Before the pandemic it was always necessary to attend court to negotiate this "deal". When the pandemic hit courts were obviously keen to avoid as many personal attendances as possible and arrangements were made for this deal to be accepted without a court attendance. Many courts have continued with this process but some have reverted to the old arrangements. Looks like yours is one of them.

Does that mean that something different is going to happen?

To answer your other question aswell...yes I did respond online to the sjpn saying not guilty to both but saying I will change the not guilty if the failure to provide info charge is dropped


No, nothing different is going to happen.

This is simply a mechanism for bringing the matter into a court room.  When you arrive (early, before the Prosecutor starts presenting cases in court) that is the time to have a word with them.

Ok thanks guys, Ill do exactly that then

Turn up early, ask someone there to point me in the direction of the prosecutor, say 'hello, Im 'x'...Id like to talk about my plea if possible. In my online plea I plead not guilty to both the speeding charges and both the failure to provide driver info charges but offered to change my not guilty plea for the speeding if the failure to provide charges are not continued. Are you willing to accept that offer?'

Fingers crossed it goes as expected...will update afterwards

Yes, that is pretty much it.

...and do come back and let others reading this in the future learn from your experience.
