Apologies, see below answers to your questions in red.

Did your sister reply to the initial NIP with your (correct) details? Or was she more vague about it, e.g. someone else's details?
Yes, she replied with my details, they were correct. My address has not changed in 38 years, my name has never changed. She did not have my driving license number.

Did you subsequently get your own S.172 request and reply to it? (You said in your first post "something might be wrong with the details I provided or something else," suggesting you did. Yet you next post says "I did not know of the NIP until this second letter arrived." Some consistency would help.)
No, I have not received a S.172, my sister filled in the first S.172 and sent it back to them, she did not tell me about it. When she received the second one with the accompanying letter saying they believe the details to be incorrect she came to me with letter concerned.

So, what exactly did you reply with? Did you unequivocally name either yourself or the mechanic?
She did not know the mechanics details so named me. I think her thought was I would get a letter and name the mechanic myself.

Let's get this right.

Seems it's taken best part of 4 months for the police to investigate whatever they were told. Be good to know what they were told and by whom.

Hi everyone, hope you are well,

I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say it looks like a fantastic community—kudos to the creators and contributors for making it such a valuable resource!

I'm reaching out for some advice on a speeding ticket issue we're dealing with. My sister received a speeding notice for an offense that occurred on 12/05/2024. The letter she received was dated 14/05/2024. At that time, I was actually in possession of the car, so she sent them my details as the potential driver. However, it's possible that either I or the mechanic could have been driving the car.

My sister has now come to me with the second letter, as she’s concerned that something might be wrong with the details I provided or something else. The cover letter states that "enquiries have been made in relation to information provided and we have reasonable grounds to suspect the information provided is false or misleading." I’ve searched the forum for answers but quickly realized that most of these cases are unique and might require specific advice.

Has anyone had a similar experience or know how to handle this situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
