NIP Details and Circumstances
What is the name of the Constabulary? - Date of the offence: - June 2019 Date of the NIP: - 8 days after the offence Date you received the NIP: - 8 days after the offence Location of offence (exact location as it appears on the NIP: important): - A282 Dartford Tunnel Approach Road 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? - How many current points do you have? - 6 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 recently returned from two and a half weeks' holiday to find I had received a NIP for Excess speed (59mph in a 50mph limit). The letter is dated 8 days from the date of the offence but because I was away, I'm not sure when the letter was received. I no longer have the envelope. Do I have any case for appeal? 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? - 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:

Do I have any case for appeal? Nothing that you have told us suggests a viable defence to the allegation. A NIP is deemed served 2 working days after posting unless you can prove that it was not delivered then (which you clearly can't). It is served when it is delivered, not when you actually receive it. -------------------- Andy

Could we have some dates? If the NIP is from June I would have thought it would have arrived before you went on holiday.

At this point there is nothing to appeal against as you have not been convicted of anything. As the NIP wizard says, you must respond to the request for driver's details and you seem to have little time left to do that if you are to meet the 28 day deadline. Failure to comply means you commit a separate offence which carries six points.
You don't say whether you were speeding or not but if you were (which seems likely) you have little room for manoeuvre. If you have not completed a speed awareness course for an offence committed in the three years prior to the date of this one you may be offered a course. If not a fixed penalty of three points and £100 awaits. |

The normal post would have it to you on Sat 29 June or Mon 1 July. This post has been edited by TryOut: Mon, 19 Aug 2019 - 14:19 |

Or normal course of post as defined by law having it served on Tue 2nd July - which would mean that the s. 172 response was due on Mon 28th July. -------------------- Andy

Regardless and for the benefit of the OP, the s172 nomination should be returned immediately to mitigate the risk of a s172 prosecution, the consequences of which are way, way more serious than 59 in a 50. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php
