Hi,
I was stopped by police and issued ticket(3 points + £60 fine) for contravening traffic lights. I was panicked and got intimitated. I didn't agree that I jumped the lights neither I denied it. After thinking about it for a while, I recollected that I infact stopped on the light. I believe that its mistaken identity and I am being punished for some one else fault.
I requested for court hearing and written a letter stating the situation. This happened in the third week of January. All I got back from the Police was a letter that they have received my communication. I haven't heard back any thing since then. Its more than 4 months now.
Questions:
1) Should I get in touch with the police and ask for the status?
2) My insurance renewal is due in a week. Whether I have to tell them about this pending ticket? Will it affect my insurance quote?
Thanks.
