MS90 Conviction please help Options

[Machio26]

I found out yesterday that I've been "convicted" of an MS90 and hit with 6 points on my licence and £660 fine. The date of the offence was 24/12/2017, and the conviction was on 24/07/2018, I moved address on 17/08/2017 but never bothered to update my address on my licence or V5C (my own fault just being lazy), I've phoned the magistrates court which issued the fine and they've advised me to contact my nearest magistrates court to make a statutory declaration, when I did, I was given a date (4th of OCT 2018) to appear in court and make my statutory declaration and I was advised to think about how I am going to plead to the original speeding offence and the failure to give information to identify a driver, my query is how should I plead to both offences? I am more than happy to take the speeding offence, the 3 points and whatever fine they give compared to having 6 points and a £660 fine! any advice would be appreciated!

Date of sale is irrelevant, even less relevant is the date they paid you for the sale, what was relevant was when you could no longer be considered the registered keeper.

Just as well some courts treat the offence and S172 as alternatives or your ignoring advice could have lead to 9 points as has previously happened on here before, that could have ended up being an expensive lesson.
