    It could well be accessed alright, depending on the diligence of the prosecution, I dunno if they can bring it up in court. They wouldn't need your addresses either.

    D/O/B - They could also get a photo I would imagine on their own system. The judge could question you.

    They can start with your name & DOB, if that generates a result they can enquire further to determine if you're the same person.

    will it be checked though? do they normally check records cross border?

    might be worth getting a pushbike when all this is over.

    If you're "just seeking advice", the best thing to do is get a solicitor, as this forum does not dispense advice.

    Criminal offences committed in NI are usually referred to in this jurisdiction on a finding of guilt. That said it is less likely in RTA cases that this will be checked for.
