    Date of alleged incident is 15th Dec. 
    Which is not "a few weeks ago" so cannot be the incident you describe in the opening post.  

    You and your missus need to get your ducks in a row and work out who was doing the driving that Monday. Have you told her about this yet?
    No. I've had a letter from the police asking who was driving that day and I thought I'd keep it a secret from her. What do you think?

    Never mind her feelings the alternative is to deny all knowledge or take the hit yourself, either way you would be committing a criminal offence. 

    I will not point out the consequences of that except (in theory) you could finish up getting acquainted with the inhabitants of B Wing

    First you slammed your brakes on.

    Now your wife slammed her brakes on.
     
    Any other possible drivers that day?

    I thought he was being sarcastic, not the best way to get advice. Is, he doesn't know who was driving an option?
    I was named as the driver, when it was a failure to stop at a red light. It wasn't me driving, they do make mistakes.

    "he doesn't know who was driving" is indeed an option, but it's one that will almost certainly see six points and a big fine etc.

    If it was as easy as that, everyone would do it and no-one would ever be caught.
