Free Traffic Legal Advice

Dear all,

I'm seeking advice on a situation involving a friend from South Africa who was driving my car while I was at work. Regrettably, he was involved in an accident, and the other driver left the scene without exchanging details. Initially, when contacted by the insurance company, I stated that I was unaware of who was driving the car because I didn't even know the event occurred.

However, it has since come to my attention that my friend was indeed driving during the accident. The police have subsequently sent me a letter requesting information on the driver. Complicating matters, the hit-and-run driver claims to be a victim and asserts having witnesses, despite failing to stop.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance on the potential repercussions if I disclose to the police that it was my friend from South Africa who was driving. Additionally, I'm curious about the type of evidence they might require.

Thank you for any insights or assistance you can offer.
