You will get a summons for failing to name the driver if you cannot provide the police with the information that they need. You will then be at risk of 6 points.
you must name the people that you lent the car to and all potential drivers. you must also make sure that they were insured to drive - otherwise you could be accused of permitting them to drive without insurance - which also carries 6-8 penalty points.
have you got any penalty points on your licence already? Are you a new driver?
You are going to need to show that you have used reasonable diligence to figure out who was driving at the time in order to defend yourself.
