A friend has just been fined for stopping in a box junction in London. The relevant local authority has sent his company a request, asking for the name and address of the driver, which is standard.
The first time my company gets one of these, the local authority is going to be told that the driver’s name is Wojciech Odrobina and he has now [zb] off back to Poland.
Not too bright are you? In the case of the driver being untraceable, the registered keeper gets the FPN instead.

A friend has just been fined for stopping in a box junction in London. The relevant local authority has sent his company a request, asking for the name and address of the driver, which is standard. The company have provided these details and will pay the Fixed Penalty Notice, deducting the amount from his next wage packet, for which my friend has no issue. However, the company is charging my friend an additional ‘administration fee’ of £45 for the privilege of paying his fine (so, essentially, he’s being fined twice!). Is this legal?
My friend doesn’t have a written contract and there is no mention of an administration fee in his Driver’s Handbook (issued by the company). IIRC, this is not only immoral but it’s also illegal. Does anybody actually know where he stands legally?
Tell your mate to check his tacho, if it proves his vechicle was moving despite camera evidence he will be able to appeal!it’s always worth checking(company admin fee=SCAM, agency?)
