Identifying driver....

I think you were driving. 
There's only one services on the M1 between York and Rotherham: Wooley Edge.
It's well north of Rotherham, and only 36 miles from the centre of York.
Seems unlikely you would have swapped drivers that soon into a long journey - unless your start was much further away, or you'd been seriously held up by traffic. Next services at Woodall seem a more likely changeover point.
Google Maps!
Go and look at the Streetview images - anything look familiar, at either of them? (obviously if it's a regular route for you that wouldn't help...)
Back to the smartPhone thing : The phone doesn't have to be able to tell which side of the car you were sitting - it just has to be able to tell which services you stopped at to swap drivers. Androids can do this too.
There are two services between York and South of Rotherham if traveling on the M1 and if traveling A1M-M18-M1 from Yorkt there are two, if South of Rotherham is far enough to include Woodall.There's only one services on the M1 between York and Rotherham: Wooley Edge.

WTF has an mePhone got to do with it?
This was explained earlier. In any event, see this: http://metro.co.uk/2014/09/28/how-your-iphone-has-...

Nope sorry; it doesn't explain how it can tell who was driving. All it will do is confirm thet the phone was travelling at a certain speed in a certain direction at at certain time. It does not have the granularity to determine who was driving the car. It's not even good enough to go geo-caching with. An iPhone GPS has a stationary CEP of 5m at best with a clear view of several satellites; that's just about good enough to know which side of single carriageway road you're stood on. Inside a moving vehicle, you've got no chance of coming close to that.
Again, this was explained earlier. Try reading the posts.

Arrogance? From the guy who thinks every rear facing camera should be ripped out and replaced because HE (and pretty much ONLY he) has an incredibly poor memory... right.
Tell me again where I suggested a massive taxpayer funded investment that would only benefit me?
I mean - that would probably be considered quite arrogant... or at least mind-blowingly selfish.

It was initially possible that the OP and wife were in the separate cars. But my point still holds: All GPS history needs to tell them is which services they swapped at. (BTW: Is iPhone GPS accuracy really any worse than any other smartphone/dedicated/on-board consumer GPS?)
