I know this is a old post but im in a similar position, I got caught speeding and got pulled over by an unmarked police car, he took my details and I was on my way after 5 mins, he said I will receive somethi g in the post within 2 weeks and I still have received nothing and has been 18 days so far, just want to know how long yours took and what the limit of receiving anything is? That is in advance.

    Why?

    They were stopped at the time of the offence and informed they may face prosecution.

    This is the key. Because you were notified at the time of the offence, there is up to six months to lay charges.

    The bit that has to happen within two weeks is the notification - which happened at the roadside.

    Because the NIP may have been sent to the Registered owner, instead of them.

    No NIP is being sent. The NIP was given verbally at the time of the offence.

    There is no such thing as a Registered Owner, only a Registered Keeper. The legal owner of a vehicle is not registered anywhere.

    No, the driver was informed at the time of the offence so that won't happen.
