Well either an offence is already committed by going past 28 days unsigned or it has not, there is no time frame they can then impose. In theory they could refer it to court (where the penalty will be higher) rather than offering a fixed penalty, in reality we've not seen that happening. Could ask the question in the response on whether an offence has been committed by not signing? Can see the driver taking this early based on what's potentially involved |

What form?
You can do pretty much anything, including ignoring it, the sole point of writing back is to waste a bit of time while they process it, it serves no other purpose AT ALL. -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!

Should this form be returned unsigned on day 27 along with drafted letter above? With them threatening a visit if there's no response, all bases covered? To be honest IMO this letter shows that they're bluffing. If they wanted to charge you under s172, they already have all the evidence they need. To put this into context, in England they wouldn't bother coming round to your house, you'd just get the court paperwork in the post. Police Scotland are known to occasionally turn up at someone's house, in which case the best approach is probably to refuse to talk to them - not even through a window or the letter box. They have no powers of entry in this situation, and eventually they'll get bored and will leave. I would also put some music or the TV on, so they cannot later claim they made a verbal s172 request to you. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

This question to everyone in the thread.
I take it the 6 month clock starts ticking from the date of the alleged offence and not the date NIPs were issued. -------------------- STAND UP FOR YOURSELF OR YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING

For Shy.
If you live in Scotland then your not going to get a smooth ride. The police will knock on your door regularly and at odd hours. Some people have had the nightshift police knock on their doors. Also, be prepared, whilst police may not be able to gain entry into your house, they can gain entry to unlocked doors if no one answers the door, all in the name for the safety of occupants. There is nothing to stop the husband answering the door, if the wife isn't in or available for questioning. Be prepared for police on the odd occasion to sit outside your house. It happened to me in England, after half an hour they just left. When the six months is up you can speak to them as much as you want. Just give your details and reply no comment to everything else. What you do before the 6 months deadline is beyond me, its just imperative that you don't see them at all and avoid them at all costs. -------------------- STAND UP FOR YOURSELF OR YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING

The six months clock for speeding starts from the date of the offence
The six months clock for an S172 offence starts 28 days after the NIP is served |
