Not anymore. The section 172 loophole has effectively been closed as of March 2004..!

NIP is 14 days, though FPN can be 6 months apparently..!

FPN needs to be served within a six month period...(aprox). On the plus side if it's outside the 6 month period then the fine is 'out of time' and should be withdrawn.

I work for a Local Authority and you pick this sort of stuff up along the way.

Err, what's an FPN?

I've had a few in for our company cars recently and they generally appear between 7-10 days after you've been caught

The NIP needs to be recieved within 21 days, (confirmed by police) used to be 14!

The non signing and overpaying of cheques does not work anymore


If the police stop you and give you a verbal NIP then the courts have 6 months to summons you.

NIP = notice of intended prosecution.

An FPN will be handed to you by your friendly copper on site, I.e small speeding offences.

Hope this helps.

If your speedo indicated 60mph then you were probably only doing a true 54-55 mph so you may be ok as I would expect the trigar speed for the camara would be about 56 mph (10%+1) lets hope so and good luck.

Jeez, so I may have been zapped by a mobile camera a few times and then in 5-6 months get enough points in to get a ban out of the blue? Surely, if the point of tickets is to teach one to moderate one's speed tickets should be issued in a timely manner? ;-)

From CPS site!

Notice of intended prosecution
Section 1 RTOA 1988 provides that a defendant cannot be convicted of certain road traffic offences unless he or she has been warned that the question of prosecution would be taken into consideration. Such a warning is normally known as 'notice of intended prosecution', or NIP.

A notice of intended prosecution can be given:

either orally or in writing at the time the offence was committed. Such a warning need not be specific but may refer to some one or other of the offences to which section 1 applies. Whether such a warning was given `at the time' is a question of degree and the High Court will not interfere in a Magistrates' Court finding on the point if there is evidence to support that finding.
By serving the defendant with a summons within 14 days of the offence; or
By sending a notice within 14 days of the possibility of prosecution and specifying the nature of the alleged offence and the time and place where it is alleged to have been committed to the driver, registered keeper of the vehicle or rider of the cycle.
The offences to which section 1 RTOA applies are listed in schedule 1 of that Act. They are, under the RTA:
Section 2 (dangerous driving)
Section 3 (careless driving/driving without reasonable consideration)
Section 22 (leaving the vehicle in a dangerous position)
Section 28 (dangerous cycling)
Section 29 (careless cycling)
Sections 35 and 36 (disobeying certain traffic signs and police signals)
And under the Road Traffic Regulation Act:
Sections 16, 17(4), 88(7) and 89(1) (speeding offences)
or aiding and abetting any of the above.
