According to British motoring law, failing or refusing to name the person driving your vehicle at the time of an accident is a greater offence than actually driving the car during the accident yourself.

Many cases go all the way to court because the owner of a vehicle involved in an accident will not or simply does not name the person who was driving at the time of the accident. Although this can seem like the person is honourably protecting their friend, it is actually a very foolish decision to make. Even the best drivers in the world cant avoid accidents completely as more often than not, they are out of anyones control.

It is quite a common happenstance that drivers flee from the accident spot after causing an accident ” especially if the accident is a serious one. The car is then traced back to the owner, whose responsibility it is to identify the driver or else he or she is liable for two charges, one is failing to name the driver, and the other is the accident itself.

Organisations that hire drivers, for example, couriers and taxi firms, do not know the address of their drivers and will usually only have a mobile number which is easily losable. So the moral is, if you employ drivers, make sure that you conduct the necessary background checks and that you know all of their details so that you are not liable when something untoward happens.

The police department says that there are thousands of cases each year when the owner of the car wants to protect his friend who has actually caused the accident, and claim that they dont know who has taken the car out. But most of these cases are proven with the help of someone else at the crime scene and the offending driver is fined for the accident and the owner is convicted for failing to name the driver ” and the latter carries a higher degree of punishment!
