# DRIVING OFFENCE REPRESENTATION LETTER

Date: 2 July 2031

Parties: Ethan Cole and Westshire Police / the Magistrates' Court

## 1. Purpose and parties

Ethan Cole responds to a Notice of Intended Prosecution and request for driver information concerning vehicle WF21 ABC on 18 June 2031 at the A417. He identifies himself as the driver after checking the date, vehicle and journey, and returns the required information through the stated channel.

## 2. Facts, scope and terms

The notice alleges excess speed recorded by an approved camera. Ethan does not invent a legal excuse or ask the police to ignore the notice. He explains that the road signage was partly obscured by temporary works, encloses photographs taken on 19 June and gives the location, weather and traffic conditions.

## 3. Process and responsibilities

He asks the Central Ticket Office to consider the representations, disclose the calibration or evidential material through the proper process and confirm the alleged speed and limit. If a fixed penalty or course is offered, Ethan will decide whether to accept it after checking eligibility; he understands that a representation does not guarantee withdrawal.

## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards

Ethan encloses the notice, photographs, dashcam stills and a map, and preserves the original footage. He will not edit the footage or contact a witness to influence evidence. Personal data and vehicle information should be exchanged through the police's secure route.

## 5. Review, escalation and outcome

If proceedings are issued, Ethan may seek legal advice, enter a plea and challenge evidence in the Magistrates' Court within the stated time. He asks for reasonable adjustments if required. This letter is not a false appeal promise, a plea of not guilty by itself or authority to drive contrary to any licence restriction.

## 6. Reservations and practical protections

Ethan accepts that road safety matters and will check his speed and the current signs. He does not admit the offence merely by providing driver information and does not ask for preferential treatment. Limitation, sentencing, points, disqualification and insurance consequences require case-specific advice.

## 7. England and Wales law and completion

England and Wales criminal procedure and road-traffic law apply. Ethan dates and signs the letter on 2 July 2031 and sends it through the notice's online portal and by post to the Central Ticket Office as separate permitted methods, keeping confirmation of submission.
