Speeding fine NIP notice help

jubz0800

So today I received an NIP for doing 50mph on the m42 and should have done 40mph. I do a delivery job so this was on a company van.  The letter was from WMP and stated that they have photographic evidence of this offence and now I have to provide my details. However, they did not attach any photos of this and the date of the offence was 04/09/2020. Its been 2 months now and I was told by someone that they would need to send this within 14 days or else I can dispute it? There is no information on the letter about appealing the NIP

No hotmail emails allowed, and use their NIP wizard when you start your new thread (see other threads there to see what I mean).

The NIP has to be served on the registered keeper within 14 days of the alleged offence. As this was a company van, I presume that they received the original NIP, giving them 28 days to nominate the driver.

Once they did so, the Police then have a 'reasonable time' to send a second NIP to the person nominated, which was you.

So unless you have a viable defence, such as evidence that the camera recording was faulty you should fill in the form confirming your details as the driver, and hope they offer you a fixed penalty, or a driver awareness course, both much cheaper than a fine in the Magistrates' Court.

So even if they received the NIP after 14 days I can't dispute it?

If the registered keeper received the NIP after the 14 days, they can dispute it, you can't.

I see, is it worth asking my employers when they received this because I have a feeling they nominated me after 14 days

These questions are better asked on Pepipoo as you have been advised.

Or hire Beckham's lawyer , Nick 'Mr Loophole' Freeman at great cost , I am sure he will know the answers

Pepipoo is best for free advice on this complicated topic

But if the driver was speeding , then do what Bargepole said , accept the lumps , hope it goes to a speed awareness course and move on. If you can't do the time , don't do the crime !!

It is ridiculously difficult to register on there. Not sure why.

Offence was on 04/09
NIP needs to be delivered by 18/09
Reg keeper has 28 days to respond takes it to 26/10
You received your nip 6/11

2 months between offence and you getting the NIP is reasonable
