Speeding Ticket - Requirements of different driver
DIR By: VeronicaSmall

Hello,
I have recently been issued a speeding ticket in England by the
Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire police.
My friend was driving at the time. Could anyone please advise on
if/what insurance details would be requested by this police
force when I reply to the NIP saying they were driving?
Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me. :)

You are legally required to name the driver. Failing to do so
would be a criminal offence. That is our advice.
You appear to be asking us to conspire with you to commit a
criminal offence. Do NOT do this.

Police don’t routinely ask for proof the nominated driver was
insured unless you give them reason to doubt it.
You had a duty to ensure the driver was insured either via your
insurance or by seeing a copy of their own insurance that gave
cover when using other vehicles.
If you name your friend, they live in this country and promptly
reply to their own S172 nominating themselves and then take up
the CoFP if issued the police are not going to enquire about
insurance status.
If you accidentally let your friend drive without insurance then
best reply promptly and ensure they do too.
