    Sorry I must be a bit slow this morning....exactly which bits of my posts were inaccurate?

    If you are in doubt of this why don't you post the question on CAG and Pepipoo and you will get an answer. However it will likely be short and to the point. Someones name HAS to go on the NIP or it will be a quick trip to court and all that entails.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    I'm not in any doubt.

    The police want you to put a name in the NIP...agreed.

    But if you are not certain of the driver you MUST say so. To do otherwise would be tantamount to lying/pcoj etc.

    If you got an NIP and you didn't know who was driving, what would you do.

    You may have an out if you're not 100% sure who was driving the car at the time of the offence, and the pictures aren't able to help.

    Granted the insurance on the rental car is probs only in one name but many people are able to drive a rental car 3rd party as long as it is not hired to them.

    I agree, but sometimes what one is certain of at one moment in time becomes less certain at another time.

    If someone is CERTAIN they were driving then they must incriminate themselves and confess [in essence] albeit under duress. If they are NOT certain then it is equally their responsibility to say so. The last thing the justice system wants is people confessing to crimes/offences they haven't committed.

    Your advice(sic) & comments are totally irrelevant to the situation the OP may be faced with in due course. In fact they are positively dangerous.
