Any driver involved in a road traffic accident must stop and provide their details.
If a driver does not comply with this requirement he must report the accident to the police as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any case, within 24 hours of the accident.
Accordingly, two separate offences can arise following an accident.
A driver who fails to comply with these duties is guilty of an offence under section 170 of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
The penalties for both offences are the same, namely points within the range of 5 to 10 together with a fine of up to 5000.

The law provides the police with wide powers to ascertain the identity of the person driving a vehicle at the time of any alleged motoring offence.

It is an offence to exceed the speed limit that applies to a particular class of road.
In practice, however, it is unlikely that a driver will face prosecution if he has exceeded the speed limit by just a few miles per hour.
It is not a defence that you only exceeded the speed limit momentarily in order, for example, to complete an overtaking manoeuvre.
However, there are a number of defences that may secure an acquittal.
Special Reasons may also exist that allow the court to refrain from endorsement or significantly reduce the penalties.
