The guy who drove the car supplied his details incase my cousin found damage to the car and my cousin has zero points on his licence.
The summons is for speeding not for failing to supply the drivers details, when he goes to court is it as simple as telling the court he returned the drivers details to the police and as he did not hear anything back from them he assumed the police had all the information they required?
Really? He supplied his details in case of damage, but at the same time took it without your cousin's permission. So he walked in after the event and confessed to it?

ks, you're not entitled to ask further questions.s2bounce said:

No it isn't. Did you not bother to read my earlier post? You're clearly out of your depth and this is not the right place to be asking. If he doesn't want to take the hit your cousin needs advice from someone who knows their stuff and the way magistrates conduct business. s2bounce said:

If he hasn't been summonsed for failing to furnish, then whether the police did or didn't receive a completed s.172 form is largely irrelevant.The summons is for speeding not for failing to supply the drivers details, when he goes to court is it as simple as telling the court he returned the drivers details to the police and as he did not hear anything back from them he assumed the police had all the information they required?
If he's been summonsed for speeding (after he had nominated the 'friend'), then there doesn't appear to be any evidence that your cousin was the driver at the time of the alleged offence.
That said, I am not at all convinced that you have your facts straight and, as such, I suspect there could be rather more to it.

We've had cases on the forum in which people have contacted the CPS at court who have withdrawn the case so maybe this is the way forward.

All sorted the police did receive the returned form but had had sent it to court in anyway, the court were informed by the police but never bothered to remove it from their system
So the cousins friends cousin, or whoever it was, will get done for the speeding but not the driving with no insurance?
