I'm sure it's been discussed but simply:

1. Jan 1st car snapped speeding
2. mid Jan RK gets NIP
3. RK returns NIP saying He doesn't think it was him, he says (at 28 days) that he thinks it was Person A
4. Person A waits 25 days before saying no it was Person B
5. Person B waits etc.
6. When Person E gets the letter in June/July he renamed RK
7. RK writes in saying, Ah yes I remember now it was me.

But we've ran out of time now.

So what happens next? Is anyone in that chain guilty of any offence?

Somehow I don't think that a SCP will go with that for that length of time.

They will either lay an information/summon against RK for failing to name and let him argue his defence before the Magistrates, or
bin it.

Don't forget they could also 'play' by laying an information against both named and stringing it out from there beyond the six months limitation on proceedings. If critised they have the excuse otherside telling porkies?

I think it stops at step 3 where it then goes to court

You give them to much credit.

I read a NIP wrong, I filled out part 2 with my name 3 times before I realised. Never did they question it.

...hmm, the "I am Sparticus" defence:

Several potential drivers state that to their best, but uncertain, recollection they were driving at the time of the alleged offence...

"I think I might well have been driving but I couldn't swear to it" x200.

That should collapse the scam. biggrin
