Not everyone gets charged in situations like that and there still can be exemptions. I know of one person who got 11 penalty points instead of a ban.
Ah right so there have been times when the police/CPS have not gone ahead with a prosecution? That's good I suppose but the reasons for it must be very stringent. Excuses such as "I felt fine" or "I only drove to the end of the street" or even "there was no-one else to drive the car" should never be accepted.

edit: hang on, not in the car but still be deemed in charge of it? How does that work?
