I thought the phone had to be hand-held and used to make the offence. OP said it was lying on the seat and he touched it with one finger - does that count as hand-held?
No, it doesn't.

But the police's version of events is different.

But in a cradle isnt `hand-held` and if you touch it youve comitted the offence, why would `on the seat` make a difference?

When you say it's not an official company, that will have some bearing on matters. As Andy Foster mentions, is it registered with Companies House as a company? By you as an individual failing to name the driver you could face a fine of up to £1000 and 6 points, and a hefty increase in your insurnace premiums for a few years. If you as the secretary of a Limited Company fail to name the driver, the company will face a fine of up to £1000.

This may also attract attention from the boys in blue and the DVSA, do you have an operators licence for the van with trailer, is the van fitted with a tachograph? A can of worms will open up.

Appreciate totally what you say, thing is we arent all `Sainsburys` i sell cars, but they want to be treated like thayve bought from Cazoo, i think to be registerd with CH dont you need to be a PLC?
I will have to state i have used diligence but am unable to name, i think its important that if you are accused of somehting, by someone, you need them to be showing you evidence, wouldnt you expect this if someone knocked your door with an accusation? I have stated to them i cannot guess as the wrong name would be a criminal matter.
Do i need an operators licence, tacho? Thanks for the heads up ill check that out right now. Thanks for your assistance.

s172 is addressed to company name, not personal, and is fao of the company secretary, not that there is such a person. Reg keeper is the company
Anyone using for company reasons are insured. As earlier stated i am not aware of who was the driver. (this is an operation snap jobby)

We have a van we use and we move cars and deliver them, mot them etc etc, we are just a group of lads who work on cars, buy and sell, even race them, not an offical company as such, i (as the company secretary) recived a request to nominte driver for the offence of driving without due care. I answered back i personally was in Taunton that weekend and have asked and nobody can recall anything, i asked if they could provide footage and this may help narrow it down. They refused, another letter came, i said the same, they said they could not see the driver and can say no more until i know, i again asked for more help, for example if there was a tailer only 2 people would have legally been able to use a trailer with a 3.5 tonne van.
They have written back saying it lies with me (whoever me is) and the notice lies in the company name. And they cant discuss anything till the driver is confirmed, yet previously they said they cant discuss at all.
They seem to be making very much hard work for no reason, almost forcing me to give a name, i have explained i have tried all i can and are now telling me to name the driver or get 6 points.
What can they do now? I havent simply said im not naming ive said as company secretary i cant name. Should i lie?
