Hi all.
I am being charged with 2 offences. Speeding (47 in a 40 during average speed camera) However this was my partner who was speeding and not me. I am also charged with failure to give information of the drivers identity, which I am guilty for. Why I did not send it back, I will never know. Anyway, I am a new driver who if i get 6 points, which is the penalty the second charge will bring, will lose my license. I am soon to be a dad to my first, and I need to be able to drive. My partner will be off on maternity and I will need to drive to the school where I work as a teacher. The issue is I don't know how to plead. I am not guilty of the first charge and guilty of the second so I assume I have to plea that way? Has anyone been in magistrates for a similar reason? Am I able to try and get the second penalty reduced through circumstances such as job and partner being pregnant?*
All advice is welcome.
Thanks in advance for all your help
