Bit of a weird one, hoping for advice.My wife works at a care home and often drives vehicles belonging to the adults she cares for (insured through work). One of those vehicles (registered to a parent of a resident) received a NIP/ S.172.That notice was sent to the parent, but instead of completing it, the parent insists the care home should do it. The care home, in turn, told my wife to complete and sign it, naming herself as the driver.But:

• The notice is not addressed to her.
• The car is not registered to the care home — it's a private vehicle.
• The parent is misreading the form, thinking the “secretary of the company” clause applies, but it doesn’t — this isn’t a company vehicle.

I've advised my wife not to complete it since it's not addressed to her. The proper route is:

• The parent should complete it and name her.
• Then she'd get her own NIP/S.172 to respond to.

Her employer is repeatedly pressuring her to sign the parents' NIP.Questions:

• She's right to refuse, yeah? Completing someone else’s S.172 would be a legal risk.
• Can her employer discipline her for refusing? (She has over 2 years’ service.)

I get that delays might cost her the chance for a SAC, but it doesn’t feel safe or legal to fill out something addressed to someone else.Cheers.

Unfortunately, you have no right or entitlement to the course, they're offered as a gesture of goodwill from the police. You may enquire politely and they may reconsider but given the timing, they will likely not allow this as they'd want to avoid the offence becoming time-barred (6 months from the date of the offence the case needs to be laid with the courts). I'd also not delay in replying to the FPN as the closer it gets to the 6 months the more likely they are to just go to court wherein the punishment can increase.

Hey folks, I use to be a semi-regular back over on PePiPoo back in the day under the same name but with work and life getting in the way I hadn't been on much. I just popped over and saw the trouble PPP is having and the new site was set up. Thought I'd jump on and register and check in.Glad to see some of the old guard still here and kicking ie SP and CP
