PCN received - advice please

abracadab

I recently received a PCN for driving without due care and attention. 

While in the past, I have inadvertently driven above the speed limit and received a PCN and have put my hands up to the offence, in this case I genuinely do not believe the claim by the police that I drove without due care and attention, therefore I don't accept the allegation. 

I have sent back the form that asks if I was the driver of the vehicle at the time of the alleged offence to confirm that I was. 

Subsequently, I received a letter giving me three options:

Attend a "driver awareness"course 

Pay a fine of £100 and accept 3 points on my licence

Appeal the allegation through the magistrates court 

Before I respond to this letter, making my choice, I would like to see video evidence of the alleged offence as I've not been provided anything (unlike with speeding offences where you're given a link to view the photo that the camera captured).

What is the best course of action to take in this instance? I don't want to accept liability for something I don't think I've done and certainly not without proof. 

I also don't want to appeal this through court without having proof provided prior to the appeal. 

Am I entitled to evidence before I make my decision to take this to appeal? 

Thanks in advance.
