Failing to name the driver
Jul 13, 2010
Who is to blame for my s.172 notice not being delivered to police?

Your road traffic offence question: i donot dispute this offence,but my q is this .on the x2010 i recevied a notice for this traffic offence,i filled it in on the same day ,put a first class stamp on it and sent it back.however on the x.2010i received aletter from the royal mail inside was the traffic offence notice that i had sent 4 weeks earlier,on the envelope royal mail had ticked the refused box that was on the x2010(the stamp had fallen off)my question is royal mail only sent it back out to me on thx2010 and i received it on the x2010 thats 4 weeks .because of this it has taken me over the 28 day deadline to pay the fine,are they liable?

The question is whether or not you are liable for an offence of failing to name the driver. The police may well have issued a summons because they did not get your response.
If they have then we will be able to defend it on the basis that you did provide try to provide the information and there was no criminality on your part.
Keep your evidence in relation to the returned letter and send a copy back to the police, I suggest by recorded delivery urgently.
If they summons you for failing to provide the information you would be at risk of 6 points and a hefty fine.
The burden is on you to provide the information so i suggest you give the safety camera partnership a call as well and tell them what has happened.
Have you got any points already? If so how many?
Tell me more. Have you heard anything further.
