My family has had an NIP for speeding but we don't know who was driving at the time - what can we do?
Two family members have received an NIP for the same offence, we don’t know which one was driving, what do we do? It was a company vehicle that both drive and were both in on the offence day.

The registered keeper of the vehicle has a legal obligation to identify the driver at the time of the offence. Similarly the police can also prosecute the registered keeper for the offence of failing to identify the driver, so if you are genuinely unable to identify who was the driver at the time you should contact the police and inform them of this. You may also wish to seek independent legal advice if you intend to pursue the line of being unable to identify the driver.
