They cannot give everybody 3 points.
No, they just give the owner of the car 6 points then!

Speeding drivers face more points

Most speeding vehicles are caught by speed cameras.

Motorists who fail to declare who was behind the wheel when a speeding offence was committed are to face stiffer penalties from Monday, 1st October.

Those convicted of failing to provide information on the identity of a driver will get six penalty points on their licence - doubling the current rate.


The aim is to punish those who falsely claim they do not know who was driving.

Ministers say those with good reason for not naming a driver, such as if a vehicle is stolen, will have a defence.

Vehicle owners are obliged under the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 to tell police who was driving at the time of an alleged motoring offence.
