Phone them to discuss is the best way forward. Perhaps they had a backlog of correspondence and they have the details you sent them.

Thanks but am worried that calling them might mean I have to agree to the guilty plea, am sure the are going to deny receiving my details. At this point, am not sure if it's going to help my case if I plead not guilty because I have sent my details but may lost in the post or they didn't get it....

Phoning them means nothing, apart from finding out what is going on, as you sent your details.

 

If you were driving, they have evidence, then i don't see much choice on admitting. See if you can take a speed awareness course, instead of points.

Am a mobile response security guard in an emergency situation.

 

 

there is no such designation under UK law sadly.

 

 

so be a wee bit careful if you try and pull that string as an excuse

 

 

there are no situations within the regulations concerning your job

nor the law that allows you to speed using that excuse.

What I really need help is whether I should plead guilty or take my chance in court.i replied to the police enquiry about the driver but not sure if they have it or not.

Hello there.

 

Do you have legal advice under your insurance policy or does your employer?

No...I don't....I just found my surname on the form was wrong but all other details were right.....can I say am not guilty cause the surname on the form was mine? Am really worried about losing my job if I had an endorsement on my license

You need to split the potential convictions into separate issues.

 

1) A driver was doing 38 in a 30, an offence.

2) You are responsible for identifying the driver, and failing to do so is an offence.

3) (and you haven't raised it so far, but if you lied about who the driver was, that would be an offence, perverting the course of justice).

 

Since your original post notes:

The worst outcome could follow from lying and getting caught. Tell the truth and 3) perverting the course of justice won't be a risk.

 

2) Failure to identify - is used when they think someone is trying to get off from 1) (speeding) by not identifying the driver. Identify the driver, and the "failure to identify" is likely to be withdrawn.

 

1) Speeding.

If it wasn't you driving, identify who was, explaining that you returned the form, and it must have got mislaid.

If it was you driving, say so, explain that you'd said so and the form must have been mislaid in the post.

 

if you were speeding, then you can't really expect to get off without being held responsible for one of the three potential offences.
