There is every need to inform a driver they are considering prosecution against them.
No there isn't. The only necessity is they need to have the driver's details and a s172 response signed by the driver in time for them to begin court proceedings (six months from the date of the offence - twelve months in Scotland). There is no requirement for any Notice of Intended Prosecution to be served on anybody at all after the first one has been served.3 -
Thank you all - guess we will just have to wait for S172/FPN then. Fingers crossed the timing will work out with our trip!

No, they need the driver’s details and sufficient evidence to convince a court beyond reasonable doubt. E.g. police officers’ statements.TooManyPoints said:There is every need to inform a driver they are considering prosecution against them.

Yes they do. But if the driver is not the Registered Keeper they do not need to notify him that a prosecution is being considered. They only need to notify him when one has actually been initiated. The first NIP (usually sent to the RK) is the only one required by law.0
