no fixed penalty notice should be issued until there is sufficient evidence to support a prosecution. The point here is that there should be very few circumstances in which an authority writes to an alleged offender for further details after a fixed penalty notice has been issued. It also says re litter from vehicle...after obtaining reg keepers address an officer should go to address (if local) to clarify the Offender is the same person they saw....!! My point now is the alledged offence was on thurs 25th, letter sent out fri 26th..so where was the visit to r/k address to confirm ID??? Before fpn sent....

The car was driving off the ring road.. I,m denying throwing a fag butt out.

Shall i put...dear sirs, I am happy to release the identity of the driver once you provide me with photographic evidence of the said offence involving the car ...reg.. ...... the car was there but i am disputing throwing a fag end...and unless they have photo evidence how can they prove it came from my car, When the bin men empty our bins they leave any rubbish that falls on the floor....on the floor!!!!!

can anyone offer help with the wording of a letter for my reply to them please. thanks

anyone wanna offer a rough template for my defence response please...
