The 'friend from Mexico' routine is purely asking for trouble. A quick check with the passports database can verify either way.

(try a non-english speaking country that doesn't need a passport:sly: )

The 'nutter test-driver' routine is not bad, as long as you have proof of the car being up for sale --- if they do ask you need to be prepared.

 

Also never give a single name, always more than one 'potential' names, depending on the clarity of their pictures.:search:

If they are not front-facing and clear, you may not be able to help further with their enquiries.

 

Always helpful though:D That way they can't do you for 'non-disclosure'.

 

If they want to eliminate the "I'm not sure" defence, they should recruit more traffic police, not sack them and replace them with automated ticketing software...

That is quite a result because I would expect you to still get done for not replying to the NIP. The argument of who was the driver shouldn't have anything to do with the case. You were charged with failing to provide details where it was in your power to do so, but from what you said, you just ignored the NIP. There's a section on the NIP form to say you weren't the driver/sold car/whatever isn't there?

 

Anyway, good result! Well done!
