Just been hit with a £1034 fine and 6pts on my license for failing to name myself as a driver for a traffic offence, unfortunately all my post went to my previous address.
I changed my driving licence but unfortunately not my log book (huge mistake)
Ive appealed due to my ignorance of proceedings but this can take up to 6 months for the court to decide if they will reopen my case.
I paid the fine straight away as the threat was bailiffs, prison etc.
The letter from the court was the only one that found its way to my new address, the āoffenceā took place September last year.
After much ringing around I eventually found out what the original offence was and it was careless driving as I allegedly drove too close to a cyclist who must have reported me, being a cyclist myself I always take care passing cyclists.
Silly and expensive mistake of mine not changing my log book. š©
