OK, forget that I asked about the OP then, it was really an in principal answer I was looking for.
Hypothetically, if you chased two lads who were racing each other in their Subaru's, but only managed to stop one of them. You had run a check against the other lads reg during the pursuit and knew who the registered keeper was. Then the lad you had stopped gave the same name and address when asked who was driving the other car. But you have no way of actually knowing if what you are told is true, it could actually have been another one of the lads mates who was actually at the wheel. Would the combination of a registered keeper matching the a statement from a friend as to the identity of the driver, be enough to negate the need for an S172 in your opinion?
