Q: A friend borrowed my car, but picked up a speeding penalty while driving it. I’ve received a notice in the post, asking for me to pay or identify the driver. My friend doesn’t want to own up to the offence. What should I do?

A: Regardless of whether your friend wants to own up or not, you have a legal obligation to identify the driver of your car at the time of the offence. Failing to do so could result in you being fined as well.
