It was my understanding and for the life of me i cant recall where I got this information from, BUT if you get caught speeding dont they have to notify you within 2 weeks from the date of the offence?

No its not me not this time

a fellow s2ker was caught speeding on 23rd may and was notified on 20th June.

Please help

Many thanks

I think it's 28 days. Also think it's taken from date of posting not date of reciept.

 

I remember this too.
I think its 14 days usually but can be extended indefinately if they have trouble tracking down the driver / owner or plate is obscurred or not readable
reason for this i think is company car owners as the fleet gets the ticket and then its passed on.

Could be wrong though.

 

It needs to be posted within 14 days ..

So postal strikes don't mean we can speed.

 

Recently, I have seen a NIP that was produced exactly one calendar month after the offence and that I received a few days later.

I handle the NIPs for speeding offences our employees incurr in their company cars.

 

It's 14 days (plus reasonably allowances for Post Office) for it to be issued to the registered keeper. In that case, the registered keeper is the company, so that's fine. It's not "14 days to get to whoever might have been driving it at the time"

And of course, one has to ask...who was it

 

I thought it was 14 days from the offence?

Unless you (sorry, they) got pulled over and given a verbal NIP in which case, you have a six month wait for the paperwork.

 

Two methods of receiving the NIP - verbal if pulled, through the post if camera'd. It's this latter one that has the 14 day cutoff.

Irrespective of which form of NIP you get, if you dispute it, they then have 6 months in which to put together a case and issue a summons. That's 6 months from the NIP dispute though (ie receiving your NIP back in the post saying "I didn't do it" or saying to the copper, "No I wasn't, I'll see you in court). Obviously the latter's the same as the date of the offence but the former isn't.

 

was camered so the 14 day rule applies ta Graham :hug:

and it was a girl at work who got done!

 

You're welcome

Don't take my word for it though - get your friend over to pepipoo forthwith. Much more informed folk there.
