NIP Rules
Apr 19, 2010
14 day rule
I have received today 17/4/10 a letter of notification for speeding which states it took place on 20/2/10. (38mph in 30mph zone)Surely I should have received this within 2 weeks of the offence taking place. I have heard that if you are not informed in writing within 2/4 weeks then it is null and void. Is this correct?

Are you the registered keeper of the car? The 14 day rule only applies to sending the NIP to the last known address of the registered keeper of the car.
If you are the keeper but you have only just bought the car or moved recently then there are other exceptions to the rules.
Come back to me with some more information if you want further help.

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.
