Letting my mate with foreign licence drive my car in UK

[px1980]

As in the subject. Good friend of mine is visiting the UK, would like a go in my Cayman. He lives abroad and only has a foreign licence (EU).
(1) insurance - I guess I‘m looking at calling Admiral to add him onto the cover for a couple days?
(2) speed/traffic violations. Trickier? Say he‘s caught by a speed camera. Ticket and notice about points come to my address (sorry I‘ve never had one so I don‘t know the exact process but I assume there‘s a letter of that sort? With points and £ fine). Is it as easy as saying „I wasn’t driving, the guy who was doesn‘t live here, here‘s a copy of his foreign licence?

Sort of. It would also be a good idea to have a copy of his insurance documents plus his flight tickets to prove that he was actually visiting you and that he was insured to drive your car. You can expect that the police will "dig a bit deeper" with a foreign driver and they will be looking at "permitting to drive without insurance" against you - which carries the same points/fine as actually driving without insurance.

„Permitting to drive without insurance“ would only apply if I failed to add him to my insurance for those couple
of days (which as another poster explained above might be difficult, I now understand )?
