Hi guys,
I was speeding 67MPH on a 50 on the motorway. I was a bit careless and didn't really notice the 50 sign as I still thought the limit was 70 hence why I was being careful at 67. The car is leased on my mum's name but I was the insured driver driving it. Offence happened on the 10th November The leasing company sent us a letter 5 days ago ie on 15th December that they have received a NIP from the police and have told them to send it to the person registered (ie my mum). They sent us the brief details of the offence which says excess speed 67-50 and said the police will directly send us a notice. I still haven't heard anything from the police. I am wondering what sort of fine I am looking at? |

It will be fixed penalty offer of 3 points £100.
-------------------- RK=Registered Keeper, OP=Original Poster (You!), CoFP=Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty, NtK=Notice to Keeper, NtD=Notice to Driver
PoFA=Protection of Freedoms Act, SAC=Safety Awareness Course, NIP=Notice of Intended Prosecution, ADR=Alternative Dispute Resolution PPC=Private Parking Company, LBCCC=Letter Before County Court Claim, PII=Personally Identifiable Information, SAR=Subject Access Request Private Parking - remember, they just want your money and will say almost anything to get it. |

Officially - you're not (yet) looking at anything.
She'll receive the NIP and has to return it naming you, then you'll get the FPN offer which from what you've said you'd be wise to accept. Don't forget to let your (?) insurer know. |

The leasing company sent us a letter 5 days ago ie on 15th December that they have received a NIP from the police and have told them to send it to the person registered (ie my mum) I’m pretty sure they didn’t say that at all. The recipient is required (by law) to inform the police who was driving or keeping the vehicle (under such information they can give that would help to identify the driver). The lease company (or their finance company) are the registered keeper, so your Mum isn’t ‘registered’, she’ll just be named as the keeper. -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!

As the registered keeper of the vehicle, Honda Contract Hire is legally obliged to give the authority that issued the notice details of who we lease the vehicle to. We have written to them with the details and have transferred the liability for this offence to the address below: Mums address and name This is what I got. The offence was Last month and we only got this last week 35 days later. So I am assuming whenever my mum gets the letter she will name me This post has been edited by speederbymistake: Mon, 21 Dec 2020 - 16:54 |

The NIP have to be sent to the registered keeper - in this case it is to the leasing company.
There is no time limit to send the NIP after that. If your mum receive the NIP she would have to fill in and sign it namely you and then send it back. Then a new NIP is to be sent to you. Then you send in the fill in and sign it and return it. Then the police can then issue a FPN to you. It is the procedure which is no time limit apart from that first NIP have to be arrived with the registered keeper within 14 days. In the meantime there is a 6 month limit to start the criminal proceeding. |

In the meantime there is a 6 month limit to start the criminal proceeding. Just on a point of pedantry: it is not the NIP that requires a response. It is the accompanying "Section 172" request asking for the driver's details. In fact the first NIP is the only one required at all by law; others are usually provided because they are produced by the same system used to produce the S172 request (and both are often printed on the same sheet of paper). Moving on, when the driver is finally identified he or she will receive a Conditional Officer of a Fixed Penalty, not a Fixed Penalty Notice (the two are different).

From what i know the notice arrived to them 20 odd days after the offence had occurred. This post has been edited by speederbymistake: Mon, 21 Dec 2020 - 18:48 |

Do you KNOW they are the registered keeper of believe they are?
For some lease cars the finance company behind the scenes are the RK. -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!

In which case ask Honda if they are prepared to swear to these facts as it gives a defence to the charge.
Google the David Beckham and Bentley case. If the facts aren’t as you say though it could be an expensive trip to court. -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!

I would firstly make absolutely sure that Honda are indeed the Registered Keepers of the car. You can find lots of cases on here where posters are "absolutely certain" that so-and-so is the RK and they got a NIP after three or four weeks. When they make further enquiries it often turns out that so-and-so is not the Registered Keeper after all. Somebody else is and they received the first NIP in time. Late NIPs are very rare (even in the Covid times). I would ask Honda to send you a copy of the V5C if they would be so kind and a copy of what they say is the first NIP would help as well.
The problem you face is that in order to defend the matter on the basis of a late NIP you will have to decline the offer of a Fixed Penalty (which will almost certainly be made) and have the case heard in court. Even if you eventually plead guilty (because, say, you established that the first NIP was received in time) the offer will no longer be available to you. Being sentenced in court will see you pay a fine of 66% of a week's net income, a surcharge of 10% of the fine (minimum £34), £85 costs and four points. If you take home £500 a week it will cost you near enough a week's income in total instead of a hundred quid. This post has been edited by NewJudge: Sat, 26 Dec 2020 - 14:49 |

Do you KNOW they are the registered keeper of believe they are? For some lease cars the finance company behind the scenes are the RK. Hi mate, in the letter to us Honda said they are the registered keeper. As others have said, just be wary of that. Leasing is sometimes subbed out by direct car manuacturers despite the name. Honda may well be the registered keeper, but Bloggs Vehicle Leasing acting as Honda Leasing Co. will possibly not be. However, under the guise of being 'Honda' they will be saying that they are the registered keeper. I had something similar years ago with (I think) Mazda on a company car. Edit: Sorry rather than guess I thought I would look it up. QUOTE Contract Hire provided by Arval UK Limited trading as Honda Contract Hire Arval UK are a BNP Paribas company. There is a good chance cars are financed by Honda UK, or BNP. Either way, I'm 80/20 leaning towards Arval or 'Honda Contract Leasing' not being the RK.

Unless you are on 9 penalty points or more, you will get a fixed penalty of £100 penalty and 3 penalty points, I am 99% sure of that. |

Try not to get too many in short succession! In 40 years I've had about 6 but usually at least 6+ years apart!! p.s Check your insurance whether you need to notify them! No insurance is a whole world of pain!! |
