    i have never understood how we came to situation where a murderer can remain silent but a motorist has to incriminate themselves by giving details of whom was driving at time of the offence, which in fact is a confession

    That's slightly wrong. The REGISTERED KEEPER is ASKED to inform the Police who was driving. The registered keeper doesn't have to respond but it leaves them wide open to prosecution. Also if you knew someone had committed a murder and didn't inform the Police, you can be charged with an offence the same way the people who knew about the London Bombers but said nothing.

  • conor if you are the registered keeper and the driver you are required by law to confess, also even if you commit murder and you are informed upon you still have the right to remain silent i stand by my original post

    It's licence not license. And you have to declare points for five years, not three.
