Free Traffic Legal Advice

I assume you have been prosecuted and found guilty in absence of a S.172 offence of failing to name the driver.

Do you know what the original offence that received the NIP was for?

At this moment you should do a stat dec to reset the whole thing back to 'summons' stage. But it would be helpful to know what the original offence was and whether it was dual charged on the SJPN. That would answer you question on whether to bother or not.

A MS90 offence code on your licence can lead to higher insurance premiums for the next 5 years, so there is an incentive to do so.

Edit: please try to give us all of the information known at this point. It will cut down on time and questions

The good news is that it should be fairly straightforward to sort out (although it will require attendance at court).

You will swear a Statutory Declaration to the court after receiving the appropriate warnings from the Clerk about the need to be truthful.  That will mean that the convictions and penalties are removed and things start again as if you had not been convicted.

The speeding offence will then be put to you again, for which you will plead guilty.

The Prosecutor will then offer no evidence for the s172 offence, effectively withdrawing it.

The court will then fine you for the speeding offence, order that your licence be endorsed and make an order for the collection of the fine.

Job done.
