Company will get a NIP
Alleged Offence: speeding
Your road traffic offence question: Hello, I hope you can help as I am tying myself in knots with worry.
I think I will receive a NIP ofr speeding (I was driving locally last Sunday, leavibng a 60mph zone wshere I over took a very slow driver and entered a 30mph zone-a speed camers dream. I didn't slow down fast enough (stupid I know) and my guess would be I was doing around 50mph when/if he got me.
When I got home I checked my Insurance (fine, fully comp) but realsied the photo on my driving licnese had expired. Of course this has added to my worry.
I got a form and sent off w new picture this week so am just waiting for ym new license.
My car is a compny car so I assume if I am to receive a NIP it will take maybe 3-4 weeks. So I have a few questions-upon receipt of the NIP will I need to provide my driving license? Also will the expired phot add to my troubles?
I have no points and have nver had a driving conviction.
I am terrified of what might happen as I need myh car for my job.

If you were doing over 50 in a 30mph limit then you will be at risk of a ban and you will get a court summons rather than a fixed penalty offer. If you are the registered keeper of the car then you will get a NIP. The first NIP within 14 days will go to the company or the lease hire company that rents the company the car.
You wont need to surrender your licence until you get to court as you will not be offered a fixed penalty if the speed was over 50mph. Don't worry about the expired licence issue as long as you have an entitlement to drive and you have passed a test you will be fine.
If you would like my help with this matter then come back to me.
Your clean driving record will help allot and it should be possible to avoid a ban despite the speed being high.
