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? - Yes
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:
  • The law requires you to provide the information requested in the Section 172 notice within the 28 day period, naming yourself as the driver. If you are considering obtaining formal legal advice, do so before returning the notice.

    You should note that there is nothing to be gained by responding any earlier than you have to at any stage of the process. You are likely to receive a Conditional Offer of a Fixed Penalty (COFP) and further reminder(s). If you want to continue the fight, you should ignore all correspondence from the police until you receive a summons. You need to understand from the outset that while you will receive much help and support from members on the forums, you will need to put time and effort into fighting your case and ultimately be prepared to stand up in court to defend yourself.

Unaware? What's the allegation?

Sounds as though you are accused of exceeding the variable speed limit, but at this stage all you are being asked is to name the driver, so I suggest you reply asking for "any available photographs to assist in identifying the driver", if these are the new HADECS 3 cameras the photo will also show the limit in force at the time, but we are anyway told that the signs and the cameras are so securely linked for all HADECS cameras that there is no possibility of the camera enforcing a limit that is not displayed.

You don't have to be aware of the incident to be guilty of it.

Was your car there? Were you there?

Need more info.

You might want to remove the constable's name, helps link this thread to the offence.
