But IN14 isn't listed in the reference, the only IN one being IN10. Where is
IN14 described?

No requirement to produce.

No reasonable cause to believe the owner committed an offence, but
they may ask the driver to produce.

Read the bottom of the page. The 4 replaces the 0 on the end of the
offence if you are found guilty of allowing someone else to commit the
offence.

He's already said that someone else was driving at the time. So by what

Do you regularly write to courts asking to see the evidence of any
prosecutions that your neighbours may be facing, for example?
