Accidentally broke the law!

[Cushionedin]

I’m panicking!

last month we we received a speeding fine- notice of intended prosecution thing. We share the car and we both agreed that dh would have been driving it at the time if the offence. We sent the paperwork back and we d since paid the fine with dh getting 3 points on his licence.

yesterday we realised that dh COULDN’T have been the driver and that it was me!!!

do we call the police and explain, or would you just leave it??

I'm not sure really - you did this in good faith at the time.

How does DH feel about getting the points on HIS licence?

Dud you both have a clean licence or do you already have points on one of them?

if DH is ok with it, I wouldn't do anything, if it's not going to change anything (like loss of licence). You didn't do it on purpose.

It's not fraud because you did it with honest intent. I'd just leave it to be honest and make sure you're more careful in the future

It sounds as though the matter is closed now from a legal perspective, I'm not sure I would want to open a can of worms over it, unless there's a significant impact, e.g. you should be banned had you taken the points.

Just leave it.
Unless he already had 9 points......
