I think some are being a bit harsh on the OP. He clearly states he was willing to give the driver details; he received images which didn't show whether it was his vehicle or not - it's easy to imagine that the there could have been an admin error in what was sent out - he asked for a clearer image, which he got. He then acknowledged it was him driving by email, but the police are saying that sending his details on an e-mail is not sufficient, so he's off to court.
OP, check with your insurers (car, home etc.) whether you get legal support as part of your policy which could cover this. If so, get proper legal advice through that, or try a local solicitor - some will offer a free 30 minute consultation. If you end up going on your own, take all your evidence and present that to the court. Might not make any difference, but shouldn't make it any worse.

It's the same as gong unsigned. They have no admissible evidence as to who was driving so the offence against the keeper is complete.
