What you expecting, a whip round?
This is moneysavingexpert.com, not moneyspendingexpert.com
Nevertheless, the points will have to go on your licence."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -

Sorry I can't help you, but if you cannot afford to get fined,
simple cure is to stop tearing around.0 -
If you can afford to run a car then you can afford to pay the fine. You will just have to cut down on some other expense in your outgoings. I agree with Inactive completely.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -

No, bad recall!
They only have 14 days - so if they don't issue the notice to the keeper within that time, they cannot proceed with a prosecution.0 -
They have 14 days once they have identified who the registered keeper is. If the correct change of ownership details have not been correctly completed it may take them some time and the 14 days starts then. You can't get out of it that easily.
No they don't. The first NIP MUST be served on the RK within 14 days of the offence, unless there is a good reason why it cannot be, for example if a change of keepership is in progress. They don't then have 14 days from the date that they find out. There isn't anything that says that, as far as I know.0 -

(3) Failure to comply with the requirement of section 1(1) of this Act (issuing a NIP within 14 days) is not a bar to the conviction of the accused in a case where the court is satisfied—
(a) that neither the name and address of the accused nor the name and address of the registered keeper, if any, could with reasonable diligence have been ascertained in time for a summons or, as the case may be, a complaint to be served or for a notice to be served or sent in compliance with the requirement, or
(b) that the accused by his own conduct contributed to the failure.0
