NIP Rules
Oct 8, 2010
How do you count the 14 days from the date of offence?
Alleged Offence: Exceeding 50mph speed limit
Your road traffic offence question: Recorded speed of xmph at x hours on 22/9/2010. The notice of intended prosecution was sent to me on 7/10/2010 - is this classed as outside of the 14 days notice period and if so is there anything i can do?

You discount the date of the alleged offence and start counting from the next day. The police would needed to send the NIP by the 5th at the latest to have stood any chance of getting the NIP to you within the 14 days allowed.
Are you the registered keeper of the car in question? If so can you think of any reason why the police would have had trouble tracking you down.
If not you may have a defence to the original speeding matter but you would still need to name the driver.
Have you got any penalty points on your licence already? If so how many?

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.
