If you name a foreign driver and the authorities are happy with that nomination they can still pursue a causing or permitting to drive uninsured against the keeper/owner, it would then be the keeper / owner's responsibility to prove that the person was insured to drive their vehicle.
How will they know that the driver was not insured?martinbiz said:

They do around here.
what, arrest people for speeding???I don't think so, speeding alone is not an arrestable offence whether you're from Dover or Delhi
You said the police should have powers to stop foreign speeders and fine them.
They do.

They won't until they ask to see evidence showing he was insured, which is one of the most likely questions when a foreign driver is nominated. If the keeper cannot supply that, they are very likely to be prosecuted
But when you get a NIP, your only legal obligation to give driver details. Nothing else. You can only get prosecuted if the police can show that the driver was not insured. Gassing Station | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
