Hi guys,
Sorry for having to post, I have trawled through past posts and still not entirely sure of my standing. So basically I received a NiP dated 07-02-19 for an offence (47 in 30) that occurred on 20-12-18. I was not the driver at the time. There is no valid reason I know of as to why I am only just being informed now. The car is registered in my name, there was no accident, and I have been clocked by a parked van (on the opposite side of the road). From my research I feel this NiP falls under time-barred. Am I correct in saying this? What are my next steps? Do I still need to nominate a driver first off, or do I simply need to reply to the NiP? Thanks |

Do you have the V5c ? (If it is a company car or financed quite probably not)
Is your correct name and address on it ? What is the docref date on it ? |

QUOTE I was not the driver at the time. Do you know who the driver was? QUOTE I have been clocked by a parked van (on the opposite side of the road). Maybe you do know who was driving?? This post has been edited by Starworshipper12: Mon, 11 Feb 2019 - 11:45 |

There is no valid reason I know of as to why I am only just being informed now. The car is registered in my name, there was no accident, and I have been clocked by a parked van (on the opposite side of the road). From my research I feel this NiP falls under time-barred. Am I correct in saying this? Yes, no, maybe. A NIP is simply a notice - it cannot be 'barred'. The s172 request to name the driver has no such time limit and must be complied with. It would be unlikely that this notice is the first. But for the sake of completeness get your V5C - ensure the address is 100% correct. Also, check what the documentation reference date at the bottom of page 2 is (in DD MM YY format) - this is when the DVLA had your details on file. A request prior to this date will see previous details returned. What are my next steps? Do I still need to nominate a driver first off, or do I simply need to reply to the NiP? At this time your only obligation is to name the driver - do so. The driver will receive their own s172 request to confirm they were driving. If that driver wanted to pursue the 'late' NIP matter then they would likely have to elect for a court hearing. (Bearing in mind that excess just qualifies for a fixed penalty of 3 points £100) Taking the matter to court could be costly in both points and fine/costs unless the 1st NIP really was late. It's not impossible but there's probably an explanation. -------------------- RK=Registered Keeper, OP=Original Poster (You!), CoFP=Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty, NtK=Notice to Keeper, NtD=Notice to Driver
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. |

Please check your V5c carefully, the last person on here asked to check assured us the details were all correct only to realise a week later they were for his previous address.
