I actually pleaded guilty to an NIP once from a speeding camera. I knew it was me when I saw the pic. Sent it all off and waited for my punishment.

about 4 weeks later, I get EXACTLY the same NIP through again.

I called the local traffic dept, and told them of their error. They told me to ignore the second NIP in that case.

2 years later, nothing ever came of it. No fine, no points - nothing.

Im not advocating that you ignore this - just saying half the time they dont know their asses from their elbows!

Good Luck

 

Recieved a reply today 21/07 which includes (apparantly, as the Mrs opened the mail after i went to work) a nice photo with us clearly shown, with the top down

OK guvnor it's a fair cop No harm in trying i suppose


Damnnabit

 

Well look on the bright side....at least now you wont have the argument of who's at fault - ie she got it, or you got it whilst out alone - if you have the evidence of both of you with your hair blowing the wind!!!

 

So much for having a soft top, caught red handed!

Good luck.

 

I think i've just discovered the only downside to owning a softtop

Ah well 3 points and

 

Are you getting it framed?

 

Now i cant condone this behaviour and would never do it myself.

If you have genuinely not recieved the NIP, surely there is a case for getting it chucked out of court.

On the NIP i got it clearly states that all corespondance should be recorded delivery as postage is not guarenteed to be recieved."

If they cant spend 69p to get it recorded then i would fight it after speaking to a legal person first and only if its your plate and not a company motor as that can take more time to process.

Not implicating my self, but when i get a summons to court i am gonna play dumb and state i can only assume its for speeding as i have no other recourse for being here.
Then shove that photo copied Nip down their throat high lighting their statement and ask them to prove that i recieved the correct paperwork in timely fashion.

God sake they are still making

 

I'll have a look at the quality tonight and if it's ok I may frame it. My first "action" shot in the S

I wouldn't know Simmo not having recieved a NIP also bearing in mind that i am not the slightest bit legally minded and you know these legal boys don't come cheap
