Thank you and understood.Can I ask if you would say that the Letter 2 I drafted is suitable to send in reply to the second letter received?I will, of course, respond and complete the NIP form on the first letter (Letter 1).

There is a second letter about a different NIP. That’s what the letter 2 is about. “Dear nameWith reference to the communication 'Requirement for Name and Address of Driver' sent to you relating to the alleged offence involving vehicleon (date) at Time at Location.This was returned by you nominating (name). To date police have been unable to contact the above named. Under the circumstances, you are required to confirm to this office that the details you previously gave are correct, in which case include any documentary evidence you have to support your nomination. If you are unable to provide any documentary evidence, please explain the exact circumstances under which the nominated driver was using the vehicle. If the nominated driver should reside outside of the United Kingdom then you must also provideconfirmation of insurance cover that was in effect for the person to use your vehicle at the time. I must point out to you, that to make a false allegation is a serious offence and can, upon conviction, lead to a term of imprisonment. Please note that your failure to furnish the information required may lead to prosecution for that failure. Yours Sincerely,”

Thank you for the feedback. I would appreciate if you can check the steps, and appropriateness of the letter 2:——-Response to Letter 1 - I will fill out the s172 form and provide evidence of the insurance.——-Response to Letter 2 -Date: XX June 2024Dear Ms Bayliss,Reference: [Add reference]Alleged offence involving vehicle [to be added here]1. The name of the driver at the date/time of the alleged offence mentioned above is: [Full Name]   2. The address of the driver at the date/time of the alleged offence named above is: [Full Address and Postcode]The driver named above was insured to drive the vehicle at the time of the alleged offence (enclosed insurance confirmation).Kind regards,[Name]———-

My writing style is so poor—sorry.I am writing back to the police and will name my son as the driver in both instances.That’s the plan.I just can’t help but worry about what comes next.I am worried about my son, but all I can do now is provide the information. I get this. Sorry for wasting everyone’s time.

There have been some developmentsLast week, I received a letter (Letter 1) regarding NIP information supplied, stating there was suspicion that the information was false or deliberately misleading. The s172 form was on the reverse of the letter, offering the opportunity to update the information initially supplied. Note, I did not initially complete the NIP. I was about to return this recorded delivery today when I received Letter 2, about a different NIP, with a name stated in the letter this time. On reviewing the date and time, to the best of my knowledge, my son was driving the car. At the time of the alleged offense, I was at work, and if required, can provide evidence to that effect.Now, I do not want to make any allegations about my son which I cannot factually corroborate, but I can infer that he was the driver. That aside, I do not want to throw him under the bus, but I know that I was not the driver (and did not supply the name repeated in the letter). However, I digress.I would like to abide by my legal duty to inform the Police of the driver, my son. However, I would like to do so without incriminating my son for matters which I may be inferring but not have knowledge of.At this stage, I would like to do the following:1. Respond to Letter 1 with the driver’s name and insurance to confirm. I have evidence from my own driving log (within the trips app as part of the car’s software) that will show I was not driving the car (I was driving my own car) and was at work during the time of the offense.2. Respond to Letter 2 and provide the name and address of the driver. “To the best of my recollection and from checking my own records, I believe the driver of the vehicle at the time and date in this letter was [Name and Address] and is the policyholder Ref: [add this for the policy] for fully comprehensive insurance for the vehicle. Again, I can evidence that I was not driving the car at this time.I cannot attached the letters as there is no space.Can you assist in any way shape or form?

Many thanks for the feedback.I believe some of my earlier comments may have been misconstrued when providing additional information.I mentioned the fact that the car had been written off as a coincidence, and it was not connected to my belief that my responsibilities as the Registered Keeper were being negated. _sparxy_, regarding asking my son about his knowledge of the NIP, I am reluctant to do this as I prefer not to know should this matter escalate. It is a suspicion that has arisen on receiving the letter (mentioned above), and I would rather remain unaware either way. My main concern was understanding if filling in the NIP and sending the requested information, i.e. the insurance certificate and the name of the driver, would implicate me in any wrongdoing. I was also clarifying if a covering letter was needed, given this was not asked for in the letter. Thank you _slapdash_ the DVLA has been informed by myself and I have a receipt for this.I appreciate those who have clarified what information I should provide, and I am very grateful for this guidance. Do all continue to share your comments/feedback as I am finding these very helpful.

Thank you 666 and Andy_Foster.I will send the form back with the information they have requested, i.e., the driver name and the insurance evidence. Coincidentally, I only have an email copy stating that the car is insured, with the policy number, main driver, and named driver. I/he didn’t have the insurance certificate (when I asked for it).While I may suspect that my son has been up to no good, I do not have proof of this. As Andy_Foster said, I do not want to throw him under the bus at this stage, especially since I have not been asked for my opinion on this point.Thankfully, I am no longer the registered keeper of the vehicle, which is also no longer in my son’s ownership (it was written off two days after the alleged speeding offence took place overnight on a residential street; hit and run - my son was in bed and saw the wreckage when he woke in the morning trying to use the car to get work!).From my reading on this forum, the location of the alleged offense seems to be a very popular spot for speeding - 35 mph in a 30 mph zone on the A40, London W12.Again, thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Thank you for that.Should I return the form with the information I have?

Hi there, I hope you can help …<br> <br>Yesterday, I received a letter from Camera Processing Services, Met Prosecutions, P.O. Box 510, DA15 0BQ. The letter referred to a Notice of Intended Prosecution return that had been submitted. Before I continue, I must disclose that I was not aware of any such letter. In fact, my 23-year-old son, who lives at the same address, is the owner of the vehicle and resides with me.<br><br>The letter states that their checks suggest the information on the NIP was false and misleading. They are offering me the opportunity to reconsider the initial response I provided. If I wish to change the information provided, I should complete the NIP form overleaf, sign it, and provide evidence that the driver had insurance to drive the car in the form of an insurance certificate.<br><br>I am the registered keeper and owner of another vehicle, but I do not drive the vehicle in question. However, I am a named driver on the insurance. To the best of my knowledge, the only person who could have been driving is my son, as he is the legal owner (with my name as the Registered Keeper due to me financing the vehicle for him). Incidentally, the car was written off as an insurance write-off, and he no longer owns it.<br><br>By responding to the letter with the driver information, am I indirectly agreeing that I supplied false driver information? I did not provide any driver details initially.<br><br>I have completed the NIP form on the reverse of the letter and will send evidence of insurance along with my son’s details.<br><br>I have read on other forums that I should send a covering letter; however, this is not requested in the letter. It states that if I am providing a different name than that provided previously, I should provide evidence that they were insured to drive the vehicle. I suspect, without any evidence, that the initial letter may have been intercepted, but cannot prove this. I have not discussed the matter with my son, except for informing him that I am providing his details to the police following an NIP letter and asking him to share an email confirming his insurance to drive the vehicle.
