truman Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I would of thought if you can't prove who was driving, you would have to pay the fine as you are the legal owner and therefore responsible for the car?

I think you are right, at one time you could get away with it if the police could not prove who was driving, but alas not any more the owner gets find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it say,for instance, a car leased to a company is photographed speeding,the NIP will go first to the lease company who will point the finger at the lessee who will try out find out who in the company was driving..if no-one owns up (pool car maybe) then are you saying that the lease company ( who is the owner of the car) will get the fine? I'm not sure it works like that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfox Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 There are some organisations that have a large number of employees driving what can loosely be called pool cars. If the cars are caught running a red light or speeding - when there is no image of the driver - its a fairly common ruse that the company says we don't know who it was driving - so the driver avoids points - often rather well known drivers (and very well paid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 My advice to the OP would be to double check that the alleged offence was committed after the date when you bought the car. When I bought one of my cars I had 3 NIPs from Staffordshire police a few weeks after buying the car, and the offences happened on a road that I could have been on, but on closer inspection they happened shortly before I owned the car, so were the responsibility either of the previous owner or of the car dealer who bought it off the previous owner.
