Hi,

The postman delivered my post to my neighbors house, and 1 letter (still unopened) is a letter from PO Box 510, DA15 0BQ, which is for speeding and traffic light offences.

Can I ask my neighbor to return to sender, as delivered to wrong address? What will happen, as 14 days have lapsed, till they will resend.

Please advise.

Thanks

If 14 days had already lapsed (?) when he gave it to you, you'd have a case, otherwise you may as well just open it.

If the neighbour marks it and puts it back in the post the PO will just deliver it again.

Is the address on the V5C document for the vehicle correct?

The police will send at least 2 or 3 reminders and unless you think you can convince a court that all the letters were lost in the post, you risk a conviction for failing to name the driver (if the letter is indeed in relation to an alleged traffic offence). There is literally nothing to gain in taking the course of action you suggest.

That’s not true, we’ve had cases whe no reminders were sent (from the prosecution evidence) and many were only one was sent.

Presumably you are looking for a 'NIP not served on the driver or RK within 14 days' defence? The problem with that is that there is an exemption to the 14 day rule where "the accused by his own conduct contributed to the failure" - so asking your neighbour to return it rather than simply handing it to you would almost certainly satisfy that.

If you can afford £10k a day for the services of Nick Freeman, he might be able to argue that a notice delivered by the Royal Mail to the wrong address and subsequently delivered by the occupant to the correct address is not good service, but I doubt it.

Some people think that I make them feel stupid. To be fair, they deserve most of the credit.
