A human could at least tell the difference between a 50 year old woman who may be the registered keeper of the car and her 18 year old son who was seen driving away from an accident. As has been said upthread, a complaint of a hit-and-run would most likely be investigated within hours of the offence occurring, and it's hoped that the police would be able to secure the car in order to be able to gather evidence, as well as get statements from witnesses. They could also interview the suspect(s), and while those under suspicion have the right to silence and aren't obliged to incriminate themselves, the police may be able to garner some information which, along with all the other evidence, would lead to a successful prosecution.
Under these circumstances, a NIP (or S172) form would not, it's hoped, form the only piece of evidence to link someone to the offence. So why should it be the only link between a speeding car and the driver? -- Hugo Nebula "If no-one on the internet wants a piece of this, just how far from the pack have you strayed?"
