Really? wanna back that up with a successful court case where a ppc has justified 'penalising' someone? Nope, I didn't think so. Rubbish as usual.

He must have been to listen to the advice given on that site thinking he was on solid ground.0 -

No.
His stupidity was doing anything other than replying courteously to the original letter confirming he was indeed the RK but he was unable to assist any further in their enquiries to establish who the driver was.0 -

No, if he would have done that then he would not be as required in the pre action protocols:

If they were the driver they should say so, if not then say who is and get on with their lives - a 1 liner saying they are unable to help will go against them in court, as Mr Thomas found out.
Dont be intimidated in having to agree with the users of other sites who have appeared here under their strange usernames, they can't get to you on here, you are free to have a mind of your own without running the risk of being banned.
I know what you meant by your original comment about him being a fool, just as you do.0 -

Not having a legal mind would you please tell us the sections which you refer to which compel the RK to say who the driver is? Even if this is not known?I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0 -
Chapter 3, section 2 of the Perky Law contains the legal requirement to name the driver. A fantasy law just for PPCs.0
