Hi All,

My daughter has received a Notice of Intended Prosecution of a speeding fine.
The date of the offence was 03-10-2018, 40mph in a 30 mph limit area.
She has just received the NIP, which is dated 14-11-2018 and arrived on the 15th Nov, some 42 days after the offence. She is not disputing the offence, but my understanding is that, under the Road Traffics Offenders Act 1988, the issuing authority has to issue the notice within 14 days of the offence.
This clearly has not been done. How does one appeal the notice?

    Is she actually the registered keeper on the V5? Any lease company or company car? The NIP only has to go to the registered keeper within the initial timer period.

    Has she moved house recently? Has the V5 address detail changed recently? (Just preparing you for the sort of questions you'll be asked at Pepipoo - which indeed is the best place for issues like this; don't try to register using a Hotmail address).

    That's because the NIP went to the lease/hire company, and they had proof that the NIP arrived late. ;)

    What is the DocRef number on page 2 of the V5c? Answer that and it will tell you if the NIP is late or not.

    Well, they conveniently agreed that the NIP turned up 1 day late, which helped his defence. I'm sure the staff member wouldn't commit perjury of course. Never understood why fabulously wealthy people want to avoid having points on their license for an offence they committed, even if they had enough to tot up to a ban they could always get a chauffeur

    Any where on the NIP does it say reminder? Although reminders are not always labelled as such, and ofcourse they don't have to issue reminders.


    If the V5C is correct and dandy (doc Ref' on Page 2 would be of assistance) then it appears on the face of it the NIP could potentially be late (whats the date on the envelope?), all be it that there is no other anomaly that has not been left out.

    The address has not changed. The NIP came to the correct address of the registered keeper, and owner of the car.

    The offence was on the 3/10 and the date of issue on the NIP is the 14/11. Seems to me that the NIP has been issued too late. But nothing is ever that simple. I will take a look at pepipoo


    The notice does not say that it's a reminder and the date on the envelope says that it was posted on the 14th Nov, so no delay in posting and its arrival at the registered address.


    Thanks
