NIP Wizard Responses
These were the responses used by the Wizard to arrive at its recommendation:
Have you received a NIP? - Yes
Are you the Registered Keeper of the vehicle concerned (is your name and address on the V5/V5C)? - Yes
Did the first NIP arrive within 14 days? - Yes
Although you are the Registered Keeper, were you also the keeper of the vehicle concerned (the person normally responsible for it) at the time of the alleged offence? - Yes
Were you driving? - Yes
Which country did the alleged offence take place in? - England
NIP Wizard Recommendation
Based on these responses the Wizard suggested that this course of action should be considered:
You should note that there is nothing to be gained by responding any earlier than you have to at any stage of the process. You are likely to receive a Conditional Offer of a Fixed Penalty (COFP) and further reminder(s). If you want to continue the fight, you should ignore all correspondence from the police until you receive a summons. You need to understand from the outset that while you will receive much help and support from members on the forums, you will need to put time and effort into fighting your case and ultimately be prepared to stand up in court to defend yourself.

Speed was 97. Speed limit 70.
Any questions?
Thanks
How long a ban if any?
How big a fine?
Where will I have to go to court? Will I have to go to Surrey?
Thanks for your help.
A short ban is possible but very unlikely, most likely you will get 5 or 6 points. The fine will be one week's net income, less 33% for a guilty plea, plus 10% surcharge (minimum £30), plus costs of £85. It will be dealt with by a court (Fixed penalty only up to 95 in a 70 limit) but you can plead guilty by post and not have to attend. A not guilty plea would mean you had to go to court in Surrey.
I was flashed by a motorway speed camera on the 3rd January. I responded to the NIP within 28 days.
Only now do I have the court papers through a little longer than six months later.
Where do I find the relevant date that the papers were "laid before the court"?
Thanks

It’s unlikely that they were. You’re likely to have a written charge and single justice procedure notice. What date does it say the charge was issued on?
You don’t, what you need is the date of issue of the written charge which will be on it.
Yes, I have a single justice procedure notice.
Charge date: 02/07/2018.
So just in time for them - right?
M.
Does the SJPN have an issue date?
