Failing to name the driver
Sep 16, 2010
Doctrine against self incrimination
Alleged Offence: Exceeding a recently lowered speed limit
Your road traffic offence question: Is one legally bound to provide the name of a driver when served a Notice of Intended Prosecution for, say, exceeding the speed limit and photographed by a Gatso? This sounds like one has to incriminate oneself.

Yes you are. Im afraid the argument that this contravenes the doctrines against self incrimination is a dead duck. The police are allowed to ask you to name the driver and you have to provide a name if you know who was driving at the time.
Tell me what's actually happened and I maybe able to help further.
