NIP Details and Circumstances
What is the name of the Constabulary? - Date of the offence: - September 2017 Date of the NIP: - 69 days after the offence Date you received the NIP: - 71 days after the offence Location of offence (exact location as it appears on the NIP: important): - A64New York Road, Leeds, united Kingdom Was the NIP addressed to you? - Yes Was the NIP sent by first class post, second class or recorded delivery? - First If your are not the Registered Keeper, what is your relationship to the vehicle? - 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 - Driving along the A64 which I believed to be a dual carriageway with a barrier and a speed limit of 60mph. drove under a bridge and the road had a slight bend and as I came from under the bridge the speed camera flashed. I had recently moved and realised I had not changed address so I checked my log book and sent it to DVLA the day after the apparent offence. I contacted the DVLA one month after the event and ensured that the details were changed to my new address. during the call I made enquiries as to whether any request had been made with regard to any offence and was told that it had not. I have received an NIP over two months from the date of the offence. 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? - No Was there a valid reason for the NIP's late arrival? - Unsure 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:

Regardless of what DVLA told you, it is highly likely NIP was sent on time to address held by DVLA at the time. I doubt they have authority to disclose what enquiries may have been made by the Police.
Did you put mail forwarding into place? Alleged speed? This post has been edited by peterguk: Tue, 28 Nov 2017 - 13:07 -------------------- |

What's the speed limit and alleged speed?
Also why did you believe the speed limit was 60mph? Regardless of what DVLA told you, it is highly likely NIP was sent on time to address held by DVLA at the time. I doubt they have authority to disclose what enquiries may have been made by the Police. In any event the DVLA won't have that information. The police have a copy of the DVLA records on the police national computer, the DVLA has no idea if or when the police check their own computer. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

QUOTE Was there a valid reason for the NIP's late arrival? - Unsure QUOTE I had recently moved and realised I had not changed address so I checked my log book and sent it to DVLA the day after the apparent offence. This will almost certainly be the reason for the late NIP. With regard to your comment about DVLA saying no requests for details had been made. I believe the request for details is made on the PNC, which receives data uploads from the DVLA rather than them remote accessing the DVLA site. So I wouldn't expect there to be a record of access. |

Assume it is camera: Street View
The 40MPH repeater just before the camera would tend ro suggest it is not a 60MPH limit. |

So I wouldn't expect there to be a record of access. Correct. (Plus others that noted the same) Regardless of any 'late' NIP the requirement to name the driver remains.

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. |

I doubt they have authority to disclose what enquiries may have been made by the Police. Did you put mail forwarding into place? Alleged speed? Hi, mail forwarding was in place but ran out - new house, lots of work etc seems I forgot to update. Alleged speed was 49MPH. Would the fact that the NIP has not been received for over 10 weeks (76 days) since the alleged offence give me some opportunity to reject on time. I have had no notice or indication that a previous notification was sent out. If I was to contend as out of time do I need to return the 172 along with the rejection letter? Regards |

Would the fact that the NIP has not been received for over 10 weeks (76 days) since the alleged offence give me some opportunity to reject on time. There is no reason why the first NIP would not have been sent within time to the address held by DVLA at the time. It is only your fault you have only just received it. You could put the police to proof by going to court, but expect it to be an expensive day out. You could ask them, but they don't have to tell you until you elect a court hearing. 49 in a 40 should result in a SAC should you choose to accept the allegation and not dione a SAC in last 3 years.

You have no chance of arguing it is out of time - the reason for delay being of your own making. The NIP will have been sent to address on the records at the time of the offence.
There is nothing to "reject" in any case - it is just a notice. What you must do is to return the s172 requirement naming the driver. You can then chose to reject any offer of a course/FPN, and then argue your timeout case in court but with a huge increase in fine/costs should you lose. If you want the option of a speed awareness course then that is also time sensitive - don't delay things much further or the offer won't be made.

Assume it is camera: Street View The 40MPH repeater just before the camera would tend ro suggest it is not a 60MPH limit. That catches lots of people out although it is now a facing camera with the magenta filter. The road itself is actually still motorway at that section - the A59(m) having just changed into the A64(m) but regardless it's well posted at 40 all the way along as is the regular non motorway grade part. |
