Hi All I need some advice, I received a NIP/request for drivers details in relation to a speeding ticket from a speed camera.I believe that it was something like 36 in a 30. However I was aware that this was going to come through as my car was listed for sale at this time and the driver was the person test driving my vehicle with me.I advised him that I would most likely receive a NIP and asked to confirm his details using his drivers license. He had no ID on him he said but gave me a name and an address. I had no alternative but to take this. When I receive the NIP I responded with the details that I had been given and explained the situation. My reply was as followed, Dear Sirs,I am writing in response to the NIP regarding the speeding offence involved with vehicle XXX. I would like to clarify that i was not the driver at the time of the incident. I have been attempting to sell my vehicle and had arranged a viewing on 28/02/25. He requested that i pick him up to show him the car. At approximately 8pm that evening i met with him, he asked to take the car for a test drive. He presented temporary insurance on his phone and based on this i agreed to accompany him on a test drive.During the drive he proceeded along the XXXXXXX, where he was caught by a speed camera. As i regularly drive this route i informed him that i would likely receive a NIP and requested his details. He hastily provided his name and address and claimed to have left his driving license at home and told me to trust him. I have tried, however been unable to verify the accuracy of the details supplied to me as this was a strange I had met through Facebook marketplace for the first time. I have provided you with the details given to me in line with section 172 of the road traffic act 1988.I hope this information assists in resolving the matter. Anyway about 3 days ago i received the attached in the post. Im not sure what to do with this, I have given them everything I can, to be honest its like they did not read the letter attached. I have nothing more to give them, so just wondering the best way to proceed. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
