I have a full license and my son has a provisional. Also how do I inform the police/dvla who was the driver as the letter was addressed to me and I cant see anything on the form about supervising a driver. Even though he is my son he isn't putting points on my license! :-)

There should be a section which you can fill to inform DVLA that you were not driving the car when the offence happened and that's what you need to do before sending back the form. Can you let me know if you found that section?

Yes I have found that section.

Good. Do not delay to fill out the form and send it back as you have 14 days to inform DVLA otherwise the fine may be increased.

Your son is likely to receive 3 penalty points on his licence and get a £60 fine.

Car insurance for new drivers are expensive as it is, so your son needs to be very careful as young drivers without a clean licence face extortionate quotes and it would be a shame to pass his driving test and not able to drive because he cannot afford to insure his car.
