The fundamental principle of English law is that if you break the law and you are caught, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty and the onus of proof of your guilt lies with the prosecution. You are NOT FORCED to admit your guilt. In fact you do not even have to say anything at all and that also means not being forced to snitch on someone.

However if you happen to have been flashed for speeding, then the law changes.

When you do get flashed for speeding the registered owner of the vehicle gets the letter and is obliged to name the driver or take the rap themselves.

Not right is it?
