So yesterday I was going to get on a replacement bus and had a child ticket, I’m only 17 and everyone I know buys child tickets(teachers have even told us to do so on school trips) so I honestly didn’t think anything of it. I was wearing my work uniform at the time and the man asked me my age, I panicked and said 16.
He then took me inside the station and asked my details, I gave him a fake name and d.o.b and an old address, I have access to the old address and intend to pay the fine no matter the price.
Does anyone know if they will send the fine to the address ? moreover, as I was wearing my work uniform will they contact my employer and figure it I gave a fake name ?
I’m aware a criminal record is the outcome if I’m caught but in the moment I was hysterical and crying out of pure shock. The man was not a typical ticket inspector and didn’t have one the electric machines he just wrote it down in a little note book and he didn’t give me any paperwork when he let me go.
Does anyone have any idea what the usual course of action is and if so could you please advise me. I’m aware what I’ve done is wrong and want to pay the fine I’m honestly just fearful my entire life will be ruined over a couple of pounds
