Free Traffic Legal Advice

Assuming you have not been sitting on this you have 28 days to respond. Get the photographs as suggested and see if it's your car. Then you can decide what you need to do.

9 days left NJ. It has been suggested all day they ask for photos. We don't know if this has been done or not, but if not... 8 days left.

Thank you. That's great that you have such good memory, I wish I have that. Unfortunately I've been away for over 2 weeks, and I have weeks worth of post on my return (last night), including this letter. I've been trying to trace my steps back to that date (weeks ago) and I can't recall being in that area at all on that day. In fact I don't think I drove at all on that day, and this is about 50miles from my home,but of course I could be mistaken. I have requested the photos, the only issue is that I'm going away on Monday (away from.the UK) and I really need to post the reply before going away. I just feel that unless the photos arrive before Monday my only 2 options could cause me problems and I could be prosecuted for either of my current options and that's what's making doubt on what to do: #1- lying and saying I drove such vehicle when I didn't or #2 - returning the letter without naming the driver as I don't know.
 Hopefully the photos will arrive that will clarify things but if they don't I think I will simply risk it by lying saying I drove the named vehicle even if I didn't as I don't see other options.
And in reply to comment about being anal about it, as I have mentioned I have ADHD and autism and I was asking for advice because I only see what's written on the letter. I didnt realised that's ok to lie even if the letter says that I could be prosecuted for it.
I'm not worried about the fine or points, I have never had any in my entire life. I'm only concerned about completing the return form correctly and not being force to lie giving the Police the wrong information on purpuse, but unless I get the photos soon, that's my only option.

Autism is a "spectrum". Ironically, many people on the spectrum tend to speak as the OP writes, but write (and read) exceptionally clearly. And have good memories, but I digress.

As already explained, the applicable offence would be knowingly or recklessly providing a materially false statement.

If time is of the essence, phoning the SCP and calmly explain the "confusion" and ask them to check the photo and/or email it to you. In my limited experience, the tubbies seem generally very helpful on the rare occasions that people speak to them nicely.

in contrast, the comments in Andy's 3rd paragraph would be a good idea.

If you have an Android phone then Google Timeline will tell you whether you were there or not.

Thanks Richard, that's extremely helpful. I didn't even know that existed!
. Unfortunately I checked and it was off on my phone but I have switched the timeline on and that's gonna be extremely helpful in the future. Thanks for the tip!!
