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 - Friday night 23:34 ....just split up with boyfriend and was really angry (and driving stupidly) didn't see camera till it was too late. cant beleive i was sooo stupid, had a clean license 5 years since i passed. I guess i dont have a leg to stand on really but worth asking as the NIP was 20 days arriving and i'm not sure what to do

Are you *sure* the NIP was sent by second class post?
Also, is the car registered to you, and if so is the address on the V5C correct? Have you recently moved?
It's usually franked 1st class which can look like second class.
But this doesn't appear to be the 1st NIP - If it is then there is a potential defence.
Get your v5 out and confirm the doc ref date at the bottom of page 2 in DD MM YY format.
The NIP came in a prepaid Royal Mail envelope with :
postage paid GB
Banbury 38
next to a big black number 2
Just trying to find v5 now
Ok, definitely 2nd - adds weight it’s not the first.
Would seem to be an abuse of process argument there if they did.
