They can try it on, and will do so, but in they end they cannot fine a person who has not committed an offence, nor can they make the registered keeper into a police person.
This is also why the Frogs have stopped sending speeding tickets taken by speeding cameras to the UK as they are unenforceable, for the same reason, unlike in France where if son pinches the keys, takes off, gets flashed and then denies it all, the owner has to pay up or dob said person in, which could be a lie. The frogs care a lot less.

Sorry bud but thats not how it wurks in the uk. Eye should have been clearer about going after the keeper when failing to declare.

In the uk the registered keeper gets the notice of prosecution NIP. They have to reply confirming the driver. If they dun't, they will be prosecuted for fail to furnish FF. That is a seperate charge which the keeper can be done for. The driving NIP will be put on hold. The FF will go to court. Yer can try to defend it but yer have to provide evidence yer made reasonable effort to investigate, and prove why yer can't provide the info. That ain't easy. The road traffic act makes the registered keeper responsible to know who is in charge of the vehicle. If yer lose in court its 6 points and upto 1k sov fine last time eye looked.

There's lots of dodgy advice online about this. Like fighting the FF by argueing how hard yer need to investigate and the process yer in place. What is and ain't reasonably needed is down to interpretation. One would fink the level would be set at needing to do the job needed. There are some FF's that won't go to court if say the car was stolen and proven. Once the FF is resolved, the NIP is withdrawn.
 
I replaced the front sidelight bulbs in the Volvo with led bulbs, looks lovely but ....
When everything switched off and the car is locked (or unlocked) the bulbs are still on very faintly ??
Any ideas anyone ??
Where did yer gettid the LED's from?
Its normally the driver circuit for the leds causing this. The way to prove it is to take one oft and power it seperate. Once illuminated keep power on fer 20 seconds to make sure the circuit it fully charged. Then remove said power by disconnectiong. Iffit stays on then its cheap led drivers. They call it ghosting as kev ses. Yer can killit by adding a cap or resister to drain it away. Betterer fing to do it buy betterer quality leds which will havva betterer driver circuit.

Will they drain the battery? Not worried about them glowing a bit in the dark , over 2 hours since I locked it up

I think not, as it will charge the driver circuit up, which stores a charge (smoke). Its that stored charge dissipating through the led which illuminates them. So only the output side of the driver wiv power still innit. It shouldn't be drawing any more power from the car.

Years ago car lights wurked like house lights. The switch allowed power (smoke) to flow to the light when switched on. In modern cars the switch is wired to the phooter, to tell the phooter if yer want the lights on/oft. A seperate output from said phooter switches the light on/oft. In theory that output should be oft. So no longerer powering the LED driver circuit.

Powering one oft a battery assa test as said before, would confirm this. Or put a current meter in series to measure if there's any current/smoke flowing through the light fuse.

Thanks, I understand that, rather wire up truck headlamps though, eadier to understand 😃
