The 14 day period...

[Jenx (V6GTO)]

Before I start, the title should have read 28 days [embarrassed]

Just got a NIP ...40 in a 30. Trouble is it could have been me or one other person. Do the police have to provide me with photographs, as it may be the only way I'll know for sure who was driving?...and how does that affect the 28 day period in which I must give them the name and address of the driver?

And here's where it could get even messier, the other person does not have a UK address. What can I do about that... I have his address, but is a foreign address acceptable?

Martin.

Anyone?

If you can honestly state who the driver was, which it appears so, then you should name him with his foreign address. Do not be surprised if they cling onto you for more information and in particular does your Insurance cover another Driver. They may also make enquiries of that person.

Be aware that incorrectly naming a person from abroad has been used in then past, found out and persons sentence for attempting to pervert the course of Justice.

SCP have no obligation to send out photographs until the disclosure rules kick in for a Court trial. You can ask and they may comply. Again technically the 28 day rule applies but again the SCP can extend this. You can ask for both to assist in your quest to find the driver.

But do you really not know who it was?

No problem with naming a foreign driver. My Canadian nephew,on a visit, was 'stung' in my car. I supplied his name and address which they would not accept and when scams summonsed me to court they had to apologise and pay costs.
