Speeding Ticket Situation - Just curious...

MrTeapot is the Finance Director at the company where he works, and all speeding tickets / parking fines for the company cars and hire cars they use come in to him. The company has to fill in a form for the police saying which employee was driving (so the police can give out points) and any fines are deducted from the person's salary.
He has a situation at the moment - a speeding ticket has come in for a hire van the company used for a month. Four different employees used it during that month, and all are saying it wasn't them driving on the date of the speeding ticket. :cool:
Hubby has handed this over to their line manager and told him to get it sorted. He said to me that the company can be prosecuted if they don't provide a name to the police for who should get the points. Anyone know if that's true? Just curious - I found the situation interesting.

Correct. Companies who run a fleet of vehicles are expected to keep a log of who was driving on any given day. The company can be prosecuted for failing to nominate the driver under Section 172, for which the maximum penalty is £1000.
I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.0 -
Wow, I never knew that. Thanks.
