NIP Rules
Sep 24, 2010
Vague NIP, dont point it out within the 14 days!
Alleged Offence: Speeding,
Your road traffic offence question: I have just received a notice from the police to say I was caught doing 39mph in a 30 zone. I am very suprised by this, when I look at the area it is usually a very slow moving strip of road and I am unsure whether I was doing this. Can you tell me if I can contact them to get the evidence of this so i can pin point the exact location.

Don't do anything yet. Just tell me what the NIP says in relation to the location of the alleged offence. The NIP has to be precise so if it is too vague you may have a defence.
If you tell them its too vague within the 14 days allowed to send an accurate NIP then they may just amend the NIP within the 14 days therefore correcting the mistake within the time allowed..
Tell me what its says.

Do not use online letter packs that claim to "Get yourself off a Speeding Ticket - Guaranteed!"
No two cases are the same. You must not mislead the police. A pro forma letter is not necessarily going to be relevant to the cirmcumstances of your case.
The road traffic police have seen them all a thousand times before.

This case represents our toughest battle to date. It was a battle at every stage involving Magistrates, District Judges, Court Clerks, Cps lawyers and Crown Court Judges. The argument was all about whether a road was public or private.
