NIP not sent by registered post.
My boyfriend went through a speed trap. He received a letter within 2 weeks informing him of the offence and asking if he was the driver. This letter was not sent recorded/registered delivery therefore there is no proof that it was delivered. He would like to know what his options are.
Thank you
Thank you

He needs to reply to the notice. it does not have to be sent registered or recorded delivery. If he fails to reply and name the driver he will put himself at risk of 6 points and a hefty fine. This is the way that the police always send out NIPs Im afraid. has he got any points 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.
