NIP sent to insured driver

England
I am insured on my mum's car. I received a NIP, specifically in
my name, but I was not the driver at the time (it was my brother
who is also insured) nor am I the RK.
I don't see why this is being sent to me and not the RK? Is this
even valid?

Yes, it is valid. You need to name your brother.

The NIP itself cannot satisfy the requirements of s. 1 RTOA 1988
to serve a notice on the RK or driver within the 14 days.
Fortunately, the OP has chosen not to trouble us with sufficient
information to determine whether a NIP is required.
As has been stated, the s. 172 requirement to name the diver
remains valid regardless.

It sounds as if the RK has nominated you as the driver but from
a practical point of view that is fairly irrelevant.
You simply need to respond the the s.172 notice naming your
brother, that is all.
