Hi all,

I've read through a lot of the really helpful topics here before posting, but I just wanted to ask something specific to my situation;

NIP received within 14 days: yes
Am I the Registered Keeper: yes
Was I driving: no
Do I know who was driving: yes

But my problem is this - at the time of the incident, my car was on sale locally (only advertised by a small poster on the passenger window) and on the day in question, 3 people had the car for a test drive - I was also in the car at the time.

Now, I have a good idea who the driver was at the time of the offence (due to the time specified in the NIP) but in terms of driver details, all I have is a name and a mobile number! I've tried to call the number and now there is no response.

I am going to send a letter initially requesting photographic evidence, hopefully to at least confirm that I wasn't the driver (I would be more than happy to send a photocopy of my photocard licence to back that up), but what do I do about the lack of driver contact details?
Another thing in my defence (hopefully) is that I can send a copy of the registration certificate of the new car I bought, prior to attempting to sell my old one!!


Anyone have any thoughts/tips as to how I can approach this?

Thanks in advance.

Just as an aside you may wish to exercise more care in the future in obtaining details of who's drivng your car. Get pulled by the police and your potential buyer is not insured and you and they get fined & 6 points and your car disappears on the back of recovery truck.
Yeah I know don't tell me they said they were insured, won't cut the mustard at the roadside, your car, your choice.

Bear in mind that so long as the information was right at the time of the offence there's nothing more you can do


He could inform the scammers of what has happened since he provided the information - that the mystery driver has moved out and that the landord has said that he will only speak to the police about him.

Whether this will simply or complicate the issue is another matter...

Some people think that I make them feel stupid. To be fair, they deserve most of the credit.

Andy I would say nothing further to the police until such time that they ever comeback to the OP again.

Let the police serve a fresh NIP/S172 on the name and address given. The landlord will either forward it on or return it marked gone away.

I would let plod make the next move.
