Re: The RED slip....
You could well be right and I could be way off....as I said I was guessing (badly).
"UK: 5.4 Million Drivers Have Driving License Points
The UK insurance industry makes millions from speed cameras, while the Transport Minister uses a detector to avoid his own ticket cameras.
Nearly five and a half million UK drivers have demerit points on their license according to a poll released today. If accurate, the British insurance industry would collect an estimated £375 million (US $650 million) from the increased insurance premiums charged to those with traffic tickets. Motorists pay this amount on top of the £135 million (US $230 million) they pay to government agencies for the tickets themselves. Direct Line commissioned the YouGov survey of 2430 adults.
Just eight percent of license points came from tickets issued by a police officer. The rest coming from automated speed cameras. Sixteen percent or 5.4 million motorists reported receiving at least one ticket. Another 750,000 drivers had six points and 160,000 had nine points putting them on the verge of losing their license."

Has been to the police station and they have told him to go back to the place where it happened and call the police and wait for them!

The police will arrive...try and explain and I suspect they will call the taxi driver/company......someone may have actually experienced what happens when someone drives off though?

Ok, well you have the registration and photo of the car which is good. Wait to see what the police say, but do your best to explain everything to them.
