Naming the driver....

But if the keeper knew that the driver was that person, there's nothing in the POFA that says he 'resumes liability' upon a denial by the driver.
Absolutely, but I think it would need a court to decide, not an unregulated scam trade association.
The same would apply to a driverless car. I think new legislation will be needed to cover liability for any event/incident/accident involving a driverless car.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.

Is this not back to the "send everything to a service address where it falls into a black hole" malarky that a former member of this forum once lauded as the solution to end all solutions??0

If the person named as driver denies they were in fact the driver, then the PPC is back to not knowing the name of the driver so (ii) applies, and the keeper becomes liable again.
But the keeper doesn't need to ensure that they PPC 'knows the name of the driver' rather they have to 'inform the PPC of the name of the driver'...which they did with the initial letter.
The fact that the 'named driver' denies it does not negate the 'fact' that the keeper 'named the driver'.0 -

You should know better that ????

But unless the RK was actually present, how can he/she know the name of the driver?
I think that OP has a valid argument. .You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -
Quite. Unless the RK was present then all the RK can do is identify who was keeper of the vehicle at that point in time.0

Along a similar vein, I'm getting some pushback from the PPCs when we name a Scottish hirer.
Now some of these are for tickets issued in Scotland, so perfectly ignorable, but some of our Scottish hirers collect tickets in England which could be enforceable, as the RK is also in England.
I'm using the argument that we have provided valid details for the hirer, but if the PPC choose not to pursue the hirer, that is solely their decision, and they can not blame us for not complying with our side of POFA.
Both IPC and BPA members have tried this, but nothing has escalated beyond a few posturing letters so far.<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -
You seem a pretty feisty fella StaffsSW. Great stuff, love to read posts where the PPCs are really put to the sword.
Too many snowflakes turn up here, wanting someone else to deal with their problem for them!Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
