    I don't think the CID send out NIPS.
    But you're not positive are you? The amount of police officers is being reduced...

    :rotfl: - not done anything, but I have the full V5 in my posession, so it's not registered to me until I send it off....

    all the trader has to do is fill in the form stating who was in control of the vehicle when the offence occurred. the person named, will then be contacted to confirm whether this is correct or not. it doesnt matter who the car is registered to

    But it is an offence and not a defence to say 'I don't know'. That loophole was closed a few years ago...

    If I'd told the dealer I was John Smith at 123 Fake Street then it'd never be able to come back to me then?

    (I didn't, btw)

    i started doing forms that customers had to fill in before they could have a test drive with me
    they didnt like it and sales bombed
    i now treat customers by attitude, if they are plausible we go the hog,
    if they have 3 more to look at i tell them to do one first and come back if they wish
    im saving the planet (well im saving my fuel actually) interesting how many sales are made on a saturday after 3.00pm though

    Heh, not talking about test drives though, he's sold me the car and given me the entire V5 (presumedly he, wrongly, thinks that constitutes a "trade sale" and he can avoid his obligations under SOGA)

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    hes not a dealer then but a fool
    ive always said attention to paperwork makes good sleep
    those that think by ignoring detail are one step of the taxman are fools
    do as you must kilty but to be honest i would keep my nose clean and fill in paperwork to cover ones self if i was you
    traders who flagragatre the law always want to blame someone so let it not be you:)
