    I like your confidence 😂

    What should the basis of my defence be? Should I just explain what happened and that I was just stopping in a safe place after breaking down? Or could I deny that it was me driving and I don't know who was since such a long time has passed?

    Of course you don't deny driving if you were!

    We have no time to tell everyone individually what their defence might be, hence why we have a Template Defence.  This is easy.

    It really doesn't matter in a claim issued by DCB Legal. You could put "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall" as your defence and it will still be discontinued. Don't overthink this.

    You definitely do not lie, as you appear to know the details then tell it like it is, the truth

    So at the end of November I had a letter from dcb legal saying that after receiving my defence their client would be pursuing the claim.

    I have just returned home after being away since Christmas and have received a n180 form dated December 23rd with a deadline to return of January the 9th. I have obviously missed this. What should my next step be?

    Fill it in and email it now.  Slightly late DQs are fine, as long as you hurry up.

    Done it and got it back on track with one email?
