  1. Sorry couldn't be sure I didn't time out when I pressed upload...so here goes again. Hi All....As a Newbie please be kind.!!! I leased a car in my name for my wife to use on a daily basis. I have a company car but all the finances go through me, not an unusual situation so I doubt this is a unique question. Anyway, a speeding ticket turned up, obviously the lease company provided my details. However the NIP is address direct to me, I can only assume this is how it works. But without the waffle, which I might add later, the question is although I'm the lessee I'm not the driver, albeit I do drive it and knowing me I was more than likely driving it at the time of the offence. But my good lady has asked a question that I cant answer which is where all you guys and gals with a better understanding comes in. Is it not presuming of the lease company to nominate me as the driver, I can't be the keeper as it technically belongs to the finance company, therefore should not the lease company nominate me as "A" driver. Her argument is this....... All the letters to the registered driver (me) are wrong as they should identify my wife as the driver and ask her who was driving. Needless to say that not being in the car all the time (it not being my personal principle car) how am I too keep track of drivers etc. The wife goes further to say that she remembers seeing in a daily somewhere at some time that the letter must be address to the keeper (in respect of the NIP) or the nominated driver, which the lease co. has assumed was me......confused 9hense the name), sorry but so am I. Women eh.!!!! In essence, the only ting I have to do with this car is to pay for it, fill it up with petrol when I use it (she hates it if I don’t) and take it down to the car wash every other week. Other than that its nothing to do with me. So quite simply the question is. Is the lease company correct in providing my name as the driver, if not are the police correct in chasing/addressing letter to me when I'm clearly not the driver. Therefore if the letter is addressed to me but she is the one that should nominate the driver is the case enforceable. Also as the lease company is legally expected to provide drivers details should they not be required to ask who the principle driver is likely to be before or prior to the lease being accepted. Just because the cars leased under my name it seems a tad unfair that my name is bounded around and given out. I know its a technical point but as with most things if the system wants to live by technicalities then let then die by them. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I'd like to be able to draw a line under the initial question and move on. Confused.
