SJP received after responding to FPN
DIR By: Bobzzz
Date: April 29, 2026, 3:27 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I submitted my response to FPN and filled out section 2 and
5. The only slight error I can see is the I included the last 2
digits of my driver number (maybe I shouldn't have ?)
I was driving, the car is registered in my name and my license
shows my current address.
The witness statement says.
Driver failed to satisfy requirements of FPN, the FPN was paid
but they failed to provide license details.for endorsement as a
refund was requested.
They have supplied a copy of the FPN which shows my driver
number.
Have I missed something? How to proceed?
Thanks

When you say FPN, do you mean the Notice of Intended Prosecution
or the subsequent follow up document inviting you to apart with
£100 of you hard earned?
A common occurrence we find is that drivers confuse the two and
having provided it on their driver submission, believe that it
is done. The requirement is to also provide it when paying the
COFP as well, either online or by post.
Edit. If it helps there is no FPN. There is a NIP, a S.172
requirement to provide driver details and a Conditional Offer of
a Fixed Penalty (COFP).

You need to expand on this... At the point of accepting the CoFP
they would request full details and you say you supplied just
the last 2 digits?

It doesn't really matter what you did or didn't do. You have an
SJPN and you must deal with it.
Respond by pleading guilty and in the "Mitigation" section
explain that you were offered a fixed penalty but an
administrative error meant it could not be taken up. Go on to
ask the court if they would kindly consider sentencing you at
the fixed penalty equivalent. They have guidance which suggests
they can consider this in your circumstances.

To clarify: From the statement
A notice of Intended Prosecution was received from myself
confirming I was the driver
A Conditional Offer of a Fixed Penalty was sent
Driver failed to satisfy requirements of Fixed Penalty, the FP
was paid but they failed to provide license details for
endorsement as a refund was requested.
So maybe I didn't state my driver number when making the
payment.
I cant see any record of paying it from my bank, do you know who
the payment would have been sent to? From memory it was £100,
does that sound right?

Yes, 3 points & £100 is the usual amount for the fixed penalty.
Your licence details have to be submitted (again) along with
payment to satisfy the requirements of the offer.

That would seem to depend on whether or not the OP satisfied the
statutory requirements as to providing identification details.
If, as he initially appeared to be suggesting, he provided all
the required information plus the issue number of his photocard,
and the CTO are being twits about it, then it would seem to be
unlawful to prosecute him.
If, he provided the issue number instead of the licence number,
he deserves to be taken out into the street and shot. In the
face.
However, as the OP, who apparently has a copy of the information
he provided in the SJPN bundle, can't remember what information
he provided, I am leaning towards the latter.
