Theoretical NIP question

[GreigM]

I am in the current situation of borrowing a car from my in-laws while they are on holiday. The car is shared between myself, my wife and my sister in-law...and is pretty much on the road for most of a 16 hour day.

The question is: if the car is flashed by a camera and the NIP comes through asking the owner (my father in-law who was out of the country) to identify the driver, and no-one owns up. How does he handle it? He can't identify the actual driver, could be one of 3 people, but not him, and he can prove he was out of country at the time.....what happens? He can't reasonably identify the driver? Who gets the points?

no one

Would he not have to at least 'try' to identify the driver and name the 3 people it may have been??

If he just says he doesn't know, he can prove he wasn't driving but what is the crime for 'not being helpful'..

Failing that, you could always say 'nonegreen's fish was driving.
