Please do not post personal details for obvious reasons - Driving back to Cornwall from Portsmouth, 8pm, lots of 40 mph signs everywhere, thought it was a 40 mph area, road not well lit and it was a horrible night weatherwise. Not disputing the 36 mph speed just the signage. Don't know the area at all, was not a blinding light when got flashed, passenger in the car thought it was flashing someone else. Can't believe it really. 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:

Hi I have never been 'flashed' before and so believing I was in a 40 mile limit zone when travelling west last week from Portsmouth, was gobsmacked when it happend at Chideock. I was doing 36 according to my 'NIP' but truly truly thought it was a 40 mph limit. There were so many 40 signs around my son and I were talking about it when the car lit up! I was so upset all the way back to Cornwall and a friend suggested looking on the net and lo and behold it seems many people have had the same thing. I do not want to labour the point but it seems very unfair to be clobbered when in all honesty I was driving within what I thought was the legal limit. I don't really want to add any more agony but would like to know if its feasible to argue against this NIP based on all I have read now on the subject. I am all for stopping dangerous driving but it seems very harsh , not very constructive and a quick way of making cash. Any advice and updates gratefully received |
