got 'safety cammed' exactly 14 days ago but I have not received a NIP in the post? does this mean that I am now safe? and if it should flop onto the doormat tomorrow..what do I do?

what would scooby do

14 day limit chap - you're clear (not sure if its 14 working days though)

TurboKitty

Uh, not quite. They have to send it within 14 days, so allow a few for the post.

& it may not arrive but they r still proceding as they only need 2 prove they sent it within 14 days so given rarely dun recorded may of got lost.....
Si + paranoia

Si..thanks for cheering me up...checked on a legal web site and they gave the below calrification:

b) A notice sent by post must be dispatched so that it would reach the driver within the 14 days within the ordinary course of the post. If this is the case then it will have been deemed to have been served even if it is delivered outside the 14 day period

As a rule of thumb, allow 17 days after the date of the offence. If it hasn't arrived by then, you're usually safe.

Just recently the post seems to be awful it has taken 5 days for 1st class to reach me.

but out of interest if you receive it how do you go about rejecting it because of the time it has taken to arrive. i presum you dont just ignore it.

Last one i got (for the scoob i sold a month earlier) came with a nice little instruction sheet. It tells you what your rights are with regards to rejecting the ticket and the "14 day" rule. I assume you'll get the same attachment (if they even send you the NIP in the first place).

Oh.. but if your car is registered at a previous address then they only have to send the NIP to the old address within 14 days... they can take there time after that as long as they do not take an unreasonable amount of time to track you down.

And if it does arrive having been posted in time (remember to check the postmark) don't sign it when you send it back!

scooby_si

Dave - want me to ring them up and remind them they forgot?

I would have thought a "safety concious" chap like yourself would have sent the £30 to charity as a self reprimand, you dangerous blighter
