I thought not answering the questionnaire was an offence, like those ‘identify the driver’ notices Although maybe it was returning it that was mandatory rather than answering the questions.
It's like those White House staff that got fired because they admitted to having smoked weed on their security forms, after being told it wouldn't be a problem.
There's never any upside to being honest about this stuff.

surely you still have the right not to self-incriminate, risky?

indeed
laypeople don't understand because they are brought up to cooperate and be helpful and (if white and not too marginalised) trust the police
tbh as a non-criminal lawyer even I didn't understand and til fairly late on
the trick I guess is balancing it with their "attitude test"

Not on the motoring ones you don’t I think. It’s like refusing to give a breathalyzer, you get charged with that rather than actually being drunk

I thought with the breathalyser you could refused on the roadside and insist on being seen by a police surgeon?

From a US perspective but equally applicable here - the last word on why you should never talk to police:

"I thought not answering the questionnaire was an offence, like those ‘identify the driver’ notices"
Just thinking about this - does it remove the right not to incriminate yourself?
