Speeding ticket
By: Kittycat123 Date: November 5, 2025, 3:13 am
---------------------------------------------------------
On Saturday 1st November 25 I received an attachment of earning
fines.
I was unaware of any fine so was shocked.
Phoned up Monday and I’ve had a fine back in April. Was sent to
the wrong address.
I done some digging and my car is registered to the right street
name but wrong number. Totally Unknown to me. I have since sent
off to correct this.
I have been sent a web form to try and get it back to court as I
had no idea any of this was happening.
I am aware the car being registered was my error. My license is
to the correct address.
Is it worth me contesting it? It’s saying I’ll have to go to
court and I’m pooping myself over that. I’ve never had anything
like this before.
Thanks

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

Ah sorry
So it was a speeding ticket. Doing 62 in a 50. I failed to
respond to any letters as I was obviously unaware.
So I assume I was then charged with
2. Failing to provide driver details (Section 172)
I have since spoke to them and they have sent me a web form to
fill out so I’m assuming that’s the statuary declaration?
I was the one speeding but was unaware of the fine.
I have also since looked up at the address it was sent to ans it
actually is a different postcode altogether. And they sent 5
letters to it.

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.

Does it say it's a statutory delaration?
You need to be sure because court staff sometimes don't
understand the procedure themselves and tell you that you need
to appeal against the verdict
