EU National left the UK family member left with FPN
Discussion
A friend of mine who is a Czech and has a UK licence and lives and works here etc has received a speeding ticket FNP for his younger brother who just before xmas cancelled his Bank Acc in the UK and moved his life back to Czech. He was working for a company and drove a works van. Mt friends brother holds a Czech licence only. He had spent the last 6 months or so living at my friend’s home having given up his rented property.
My friends brother won’t deal with the Ticket and doesn’t care now he lives back home. My friend is 7 years older but has the same initials and is concerned about the ticket hanging over address with same initials. Since the ticket has come to his address but is not associated with a vehicle my friend drives what would be the best course of action for my friend to take since his younger brother will not deal with the ticket.
Should he write to the police and state that he is no longer in the country?
What would happen if you he gave the Czech address of his brother for them to pursue him? I assume a ghost DVLA record would be established against his brother’s name?
If the younger brother returned to the UK in the future what would happen if the ticket was left unanswered?

Yep, of course he should name the driver - and give the CZ address.
But I wouldn't be surprised if they investigate further, not least by looking for proof he was a named driver on the insurance, for a start.
The van was a company van and the company have named the driver at his last know address. I am sure they will prove insurance big company.But I wouldn't be surprised if they investigate further, not least by looking for proof he was a named driver on the insurance, for a start.
My friend would be naming this same driver but in Czech.
He is a big brother not sure he wants to give the addrsss in Czech. If he doesn't what are his options?
Should he ignore or contact the police and tell them the truth his brother has gone back. He. Would be aditting he opened the post.
He doesn't want it hanging over his house he said plus he is worried they are both jb.

Presumably the company will be able to confirm that your friend is not the driver they employed?
In which case it will not be his problem - the company were asked to name the driver - he hasn't.
They both work for the same company but my friend is a manager in the headoffice and his brother worked on site for another manager.In which case it will not be his problem - the company were asked to name the driver - he hasn't.
My friend doesn't drive vans he has a company car.
The company know the driver has gone back to Czech and can confirm. The compna sectory just did their bit in naming the driver. The ticket came in like the day after the driver finished with the company.
