can I just check please. Sadly I accepted I was the driver (before I found your amazing forum) so which paragraphs should I remove if any?
my gripe now is the pub said they had confirmation the ticket had been cancelled.0 -
Just use it 'as is' because nobody will read it nor realise you already blabbed about driving.

just submitting my defence via MCOL. In Meltof 12/4 para 8, I’m unsure what figures to use as I don’t have paperwork with original amount on from 2022. The amount claimed on form is £224.84 plus court fee, legal cost total £309.84 - any help would be most appreciated :-)
Also should I include para 11? I don’t particularly want any costs.
thanks0
