Another good point to add is the registered keeper of the car will have had the fine sent, it will be them who have filled in your hubbies details, now conspiracy's aside, I can see a lot of instructors would rather take a hit on a customer than 3 points and a fine.
I would write back stating that as you are not the registered keeper you need further evidence that he was the driver at the time and ask for a disclosure of any evidence that may help identifying who was driving the vehicle at the time.
It does sound a bit odd....Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
Anyone supervising a learner driver can be prosecuted for any driving offences committed, as well as the driver themselves.
Equally the supervisor is subject to the same laws as the driver, e.g. can't use a mobile, drink driving limits etc.0 -
The ticket office lady said the photograph shows the rear of the vehicle,was doing 18mph and went across a definate red at a busy junction.She said the instructor passed hubbys details.We don't have a log of times hubby was driving,hadn't occured to us to do that:o
18 sodding miles an hour what WAS the instructor doing not braking??Are dual controls just decoration?I know hubby is responsible too but tbh he was being "supervised" or so we thought!
Well hubby hasn't been able to get hold of the instructor for 2 weeks..guess we know why nowThis is an AA school so not some dodgy back street bloke,but he obviously can't face hubby now!!

You need that picture ! it might not have even been the same car he was driving, it will have a time and date stamp on, this needs to match the driving lesson timeHi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Now if he is genuinely unable to identify if he was driving and it is a long time ago then have a read of this article

Can I just say btw..I'm not trying to make excuses for hubby or "get him off"..just don't understand why we paid for a dual controlled 50 odd quid for 2 hours instructor who lets a new pupil go through a red light at 18 mph...Slightly mad mummy to four kidlets aged 4 months,6,7 and 8
