Who ever gets caught speeding would get the fine/points on their licence. In the case of a speed camera, you would have to prove you wasn't driving at the time. This can get quite interesting because if the police can not identify the driver they can not give you points or a fine.

There is a site somewhere, i'll try to find it

EDIT: just reread your post

[Guest J273]

Yeah but how would they know whose driving

[Guest stevewright]

They go on who the car is registered to, i.e. the name and address on the V5 log book.

If it's your name, and your Dad refuses to confess - it's your licence that gets the points.

I have received a NIP. At the claimed time I cannot recal who was driving as we shared the driving on this day. I have heard that if I return the paperwork with both of the possible drivers details, that the police will not pursue the matter.   In many cases this is true and the police take no further action. In some cases the police will visit the registered driver and interview them to try and get them to "confess" even if they really cant recall who was driving. In a few cases the police will also a summons for failing to comply with s172 RTA 1988 (supplying the drivers details). So no hard and fast rules and it seems to vary from case to case.
