Uncle speeding but doesn't live in UK

[Mr Trophy]

Afternoon

As per the above, Uncle has been caught speeding but doesn't live in the UK or have UK licence. He's said fair enough it was me and his details given.

Just wondering what the next steps are if anyone else has been in this situation?

Thanks,

[Mr Trophy]

Just guessing wildly here.

Was it your car he was driving and you received a NIP then filled in the details nominating him as the driver?

Yup!

If the OP named a foreign driver on the S.172 request, it is likely that the police will check the legality of the named driver to drive that vehicle in the UK... I do hope the driver was insured (hint: his "driving other cars" cover on his domestic policy almost certainly won't be valid), for example.

If the foreign driver wasn't insured, for example, then the OP will be charge with what used to be "aiding and abetting driving without insurance" (I think it is "cause or permit" nowadays) - which carries the same penalty as the principle offence.

Went through all the right channels, he was insured and driving over here on his HK licence.

A little update.

Police Scotland have come back and asked for proof of insurance for my Uncle, which has been passed onto them.

I await their reply.
