Penalty Notice Charge - who should pay?

[Chipsandwitch]

A penalty fine was received person A owns the vehicle person B was driving.

Person B was being guided through the city by C and D as B did not know the city, carrying goods for them to drop off.

The final demand letter is the only letter that has been received by A with a charge of 275.

The penalty would have been 65 if paid in the first 14 days.

Due to house move A did not update the address on the V5 hence the increase in fees.

Should A be held responsible for the majority of the fine?

What is the fairest way to split the fine?

B incurred the original fine so they should pay the original amount. A pays the balance because it’s due to them that the fine has increased.

C and D have no responsibility because as a fully qualified driver, B should be aware of the road signs and markings etc-for example if C said ‘turn left here’ and it’s actually a no entry, one way street, you’d expect B to notice and obey the road signs rather than blindly following C’s instructions.

Lol
A is an absolute arse. Six years after the house move?!?
Just leave them to it

Appreciate all the responses and I apologise if you think I drip fed.

I am B and take full responsibility that I should pay the original fine. I do not feel that C and D should contribute but A feels they should share the full cost with me and that A should not have to pay anything.

Oh well, just leave A to it. Pay them your share and let them argue the toss with the council/bailiffs/debt collectors
You can't argue with stupid

If you do pay her make sure you get a receipt for it.

B:£65
A: the rest for being utterly incompetent if nothing else
