You do not get away with 'not naming the driver' or lying about it when the speeding NIP is presented. ... Or, could one name someone else as driver, who in turn counterclaims yourself as driver, both sticking rigidly to story ??? ...

Can only guess in this case 'the Law' was satisfied .. But was it justice?

taking advantage of a loophole indeed.
It's a hard one to decide as obviously there was insufficient evidence to prove which one was driving, it's the onus of the law to prove guilt and unfortunately these individuals have found the way out but what is the solution? find both guilty or the owner of the car is responsible? that could have future implications if president is set on an unsound case.
One of those cases where witnesses are paramount to successful prosecution.
 
Already - found not guilty ....

How about this, four guys work together, take their van to various sites everyday, they decide to share the driving, swapping at random intervals, the three prospective drivers toss a coin to keep the driver selection pretty random.
They do not see 'the flash' when passing a camera. When the NIP arrives they claim, they had no idea which of them was driving ... They have several witnesses to their strange driving plan .. The point is, they could be considered to be telling the truth, there is no requirement to record who is driving at any one time ... They would have reasonable doubt as to the driver, as must anyone else .... ??? Case dropped ?
:eek:
