Hi,
Yesterday on the 11/04/09, I received a speeding ticket for doing 66 in a 50! Usually I'd shut up and pay it but I'm in my first 2 years and the nature of me getting caught was taking the micky! It was a 70 on the M6 that went to a temp limit of 50 and as soon as I saw the sign I saw the camera!!! No time to stop at all! However like I said ticket came yesterday, the header says it was sent on the 09/04 and the offense was on the 23/03! So it was sent out 17 days after and received 19 days after! However the twist is it was a hire car on behalf of my company! Can I still get out of this with a solicitors letter to explain it was outside of 14 days?? Any advice on how to avoid this, cos I really can't afford 3 points now, would be much appreciated! Many thanks! Josh |

That's right, it is not you being asked to provide the information, it is whoever the NIP is adressed to. You should ask them to wait until as near as possible to the 28 day timelimit is up and then send it back recorded delivery. You will then receive one in your name.

Then they came for me. And there was no-one to speak out for me. [after Pastor Niemoller] |
