    I don't believe that it was a fine,  ( its not your parking fine or anybody else's , )  probably a Parking Charge Notice,  PCN, so an Invoice from a private parking company 

    Which private parking company issued it   ?, plus name the actual location or retail park too

    You can tell the RK to give the drivers details in writing to the private parking company,  to extricate himself from the saga,  putting the onus onto the driver 

    But before doing that,  find out the name of the parking company and the alleged breach of the parking rules or contract with said driver, the driver should complain about this to the pizza place 

    Definitely cheeky using a customer's vehicle for private business,  a test run doesn't cut it either

    Just wondering if it would  be a bit outside motor trade insurance rules and regulations? or do they cover family jaunts in a  customer's car?

    Tell Dad to give the driver's details - full name and address - to the private parking company (PPC) online. Details of how to do that are on the back of the PCN (DO NOT use post in case it goes astray.).

    But which PPC?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Sorry I’ve not come back. 

    I don’t know which ppc it is as I don’t have the letter. 

    I seen my Dad yesterday (he was round my house) and from what I can gather, the guy that was driving the car has been round and collected the letter. So I suspect he will go to the pizza place and get them to cancel it. 

    It doesn’t excuse what he’s done and I wouldn’t be using him again. But my Dad thinks with his wallet unfortunately. 
    I would have kept a copy of that and informed the PPC of the driver's details, there's no guarantee he will do that if he's cheeky enough to take a customer's car for joy rides!

    He doesn't.

    That was a really, really silly thing to do.

    He doesn't think with his wallet; in this case that was the silliest thing to do,

    He's just handed over the piece of paper that he needed to transfer liability.
