Insurance

Hi
My friend over 25 with a provisional licence borrowed my car and
got a speeding ticket at 26mph on a 20mph zone
He didn't have insurance to drive my car. I believe he will get
points and a fine.
My question is, will I get points on my licence for letting him
drive my car??

Yes, if the police investigate. It seems you are guilty of
causing or permitting your friend to drive without insurance.
Six points. If you're lucky, a £300 fixed penalty. Otherwise an
income-related fine.

Unfortunately, Doris Stokes, Mystic Meg and all the other
psychics we used to use have unexpectedly passed to the other
side.
From what you have told us, you may well be prosecuted for
permitting. Or you might not.
Some forces seem to be more keen to prosecute permitting where
the driver variously manages to evade justice, or appears to be
a fabrication. Others prefer to spread the love more widely.

As above, if there are no shenanigans or strange responses (or
lack of) that give the Police cause to look at this more
closely, it is possible that the sausage machine will just deal
with the response and chuck out an offer of SAC* or fixed
penalty without anyone looking at insurance or lack of.
Respond with the driver details and get them to confirm they
were driving.
*I can't remember if you can attend a speed awareness course
without a full licence?

Other point to note, the OP elected to spare us the relevant
details, by instead stating that is friend "got a speeding
ticket".

Will you? Possibly, could you, yes. Similar punishment to the
driver and similar (double in the first year) insurance impact
if you do.
History suggests the Police don't routinely check insurance
unless given a cause to be 'shenanigans'.
