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 - Hi, I received the first and only NIP to my knowledge on the 11/1/18, dated 10/1/18 and stating that the offence occurred on the 9/11/17. I replied, quoting the 14 day rule. I received the following response dated 5/2/18 today 8/2/18, stating as follows:
Thank you for your reply to our Notice of Intended Prosecution and your recent correspondence with regard to the above. Your comments are noted.
The law requires that an NIP be served within 14 days on the driver, or if the driver is not known, on the last known registered keeper. In this case the original Notice of Intended Prosecution was served on the registered keeper as held by DVLA records on 09/11/17.
Hoping for some advice on how I should reply to the following?

Have you received a NIP? - Yes
Are you the Registered Keeper of the vehicle concerned (is your name and address on the V5/V5C)? - No
Is the NIP addressed to you personally? - Yes
Although you are not the Registered Keeper, were you the keeper of the vehicle concerned (the person normally responsible for it) at the time of the alleged offence? - Yes

NIP Wizard Recommendation
Based on these responses the Wizard suggested that this course of action should be considered:
- If you can show that after reasonable diligence you have been unable to determine the identity of the driver, you will not be guilty of S172 failure to provide.
