Only the first NIP to the RK must be served within 14 days.
If you are not the RK, then you did not receive the first NIP in the chain. You need to work out who was driving, and name them. This post has been edited by peterguk: Thu, 8 Feb 2018 - 20:51 -------------------- |

The 14 day rule has no impact on your legal obligation to name the driver.
You need to make every diligent effort to identify the driver, think back to the date in question, try and rebuild your movements on the day. Can you remember if you were driving at all? Who else could have been driving the car at the time of the alleged offence? Did you give a lift to anyone on that day? Do you have location tracking enabled on your phone? If yes check it, it might help jog your memory. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

Do not say you are unsure of the driver, decide who the most likely driver is and name them, anything else leads to a world of pain.

That sounds super quick, if the offence date was 9/11 and the NIP was served on the same date.
Can you remember who was driving? |

Isn't the first question whether the OP was the keeper of the vehicle at the time in question? That determines the extent of his or her obligations under s.172. The police correspondence suggests that the RK was served on the same date as the offence (probably an error, but possibly not significant), and by implication that person was not the OP (who has advised his her relationship to the vehicle as "usual driver", rather than RK). Whether the OP was the "keeper" is a question of fact that determines whether the driver must be named or if information must be given "which it is in his power to give and may lead to identification of the driver."
