Provide a description of events (if you know what happened) telling us as much about the incident as possible - some things that may seem trivial to you may be important, so don't leave anything out. Please do not post personal details for obvious reasons - A few weeks ago, We got a speeding issued to our family car. Now the problem is that the alleged speeding took place on the 16th of March which is our sons birthday and both my husband and I drove the car on that day as we had to pick up items for the party etc.
I sent a letter requesting pictures in order to ascertain who exactly was driving at the time but the tickets don't show the driver, just the car. We are both insured to drive the car though my husband is the registered keeper. So the dilemma is, neither of us wants to take points on our license that might belong to the other. What can we do.
