Re: HELP court summons received
Ralph, I'm speaking in principal. There is no way I'm going to offer an opinion on the specifics of the OP's case based on what he has told us.

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?

Re: HELP court summons received
There's a lot if "what if" there. To report a driver for summons someone the police need to show that they have reasonable grounds for suspecting they have committed an offence. The CPS will only then apply for that summons if they believe the evidence presented has a reasonable chance of securing a conviction, ie: they can prove the case beyond reasonable doubt.
I would suggest that should an officer present a case based on evidence secured in the way you describe then it is unlikely to result in a summons being issued, but then again nothing surprises me these days..... |

Re: HELP court summons received
I would hope my mates would have the brains to go "no mate... he just appeared in my mirrors and stayed there" with regards my name and address if asked!

Re: HELP court summons received
The police would have probably known exactly who they both were before stopping, they did when i got stopped when riding with Fizz a bit fast down the M5. I ended up with a court summons and 5 points and £250, Fizz ended up with nothing, even tho they asked about Fizz by name by the side of the road after he carried on when the police car stopped me.
