Changes to the law mean that the Courts will now be able to impose six points on a drivers licence, for drivers who fail to identify who was driving when a motoring offence has occurred. This change has been brought about in an effort to reduce the number of drivers who attempt to evade speeding tickets by claiming that they can not remember who was driving. However, opponents of the scheme claim that people who genuinely do not know who was driving or who incorrectly complete the paperwork would be unfairly penalised.
