Hi!
I am new here so apologies if this isn't the right place to post it.
Would stopping on the hard shoulder be the type of offence that requires an NIP (sent in 14 days) or could I be hearing about it a lot later on in the year?
I am the registered keeper, it wasn't me who did it but would be useful to know especially as it's going to be addressed to me

Depends why your vehicle stopped on the hard shoulder and if anyone saw you vehicle doing so
Does it actually matter anyway -- if you receive anything - just name the driver1 -
It depends.
Stopping (unnecessarily) on the hard shoulder is an offence under the Motorway Regs, and doesn't require a NIP., so they have six months to start proceeding.
OTH careless driving does need a NIP.1 -
Thanks for the replies

I imagine most people could conjure up a reasonable excuse for stopping. I can't imagine many are prosecuted unless they stopped and set up the BBQ, played ball etc etc0

The stop was because my husband's contact lense fell out. He started to suffer a dry left eye, rubbed it and the lense fell out. He luckily had a pair of glasses right there, so pulled over and put his glasses on. That's why he is a bit worried as it's not really something we can prove.
