NIP Details and Circumstances
What is the name of the Constabulary? - Date of the offence: - December 2018 Date of the NIP: - 41 days after the offence Date you received the NIP: - 42 days after the offence Location of offence (exact location as it appears on the NIP: important): - At M25 Junction 9 to 10, Leatherhead to Wisley, United Kingdom Was the NIP addressed to you? - Yes Was the NIP sent by first class post, second class or recorded delivery? - Not known If your are not the Registered Keeper, what is your relationship to the vehicle? - Company issued hire car How many current points do you have? - 0 Provide a description of events (if you know what happened) telling us as much about the incident as possible - some things that may seem trivial to you may be important, so don't leave anything out. Please do not post personal details for obvious reasons - I was seen doing 71mph. The variable speed limit was set to 60mph. I did see the 60mph signals but the road ahead of me was totally clear, which I know was my mistake. I feel my only possible defence is that I received the NIP way more than 14 days after the incident. This I would put down to the fact that I drive a company-issued hire car - presumably Surrey Police first sent an NIP to the hire car agency, where the vehicle is registered to, before being given my contact details. I have since replied acknowledging my identity as the driver, and I have received the conditional offer of fixed penalty. Option to pay 100GBP and accept three points or go on a safety awareness course. Any help would be much appreciated. 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)? - No Is the NIP addressed to you personally? - Yes Although you are not the Registered Keeper, were you 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:

Take the speed awareness course. The requirement to deliver the NIP within 14 days only applies to the first NIP in the chain, which you acknowledge would have gone to the Registered Keeper (the leasing company).
