[Help] Non footy...any legal eagles? Advice please

People allow their wives to drive their car?

The end bit basically means the hire company will end up being charged and possibly prosecuted for your wrongdoing with somebody potentially losing their job over it, all because you wouldn't own up. I'm sure I do go over the speed limit, what I wouldn't do if I was caught is keep my mouth shut while others potentially took the rap for my mistake/slack attitude.

Didn't happen, I knew the owner of the hire place and used them a lot, they didn't lie either as they wouldn't know if I switched drivers after I left them.
Nobody died or got sacked and the world kept turning.

Was it insured for any driver when you hired it? Did they see the other driving licences?

So, if the driver at the time is unknown [can't recollect). what happens if it's, say, a company pool car? The "company" doesn't have a driving license to slap 6 points on. So do they get walloped with a huge fine for failing to keep records on who the car was signed out to? Seem to remember a thread similar to this about fessing up to a parking ticket in similar circumstances.

Yes the company gets fined for not keeping proper records.

It's a nonsense story now really. OzMike would simply get charged for allowing a car to be driven without consent (realistically the law has changed now and that defence simply wouldn't work anyway)

So you did it to people you know? Well, in that case I take it back. How noble of you.
