Speeding (again)- recieved NIP 1 1/2 months after event
Been To PePiPoo.com and had a look but for some reason cant post ontheir forum, still....
36 in a 30, gatso. NIP dated 13/7, offence took place on 24/5, month and a half earlier.
The vehicle is addressed to the company, seeing as im the boss i got it straight away.
Whats the deal?
what do i have to do?
Thought they had 14 days to issue the NIP regardless whether its to an individual or company?

As I remember it they have 6 months if it is a company. I received one from my employers in December 2001 for a speeding offence in the previous August. I looked up the rules at the time and then paid the fine.

They have 14 days to notify the registered keeper. If the company is the registered keeper than it is out of time and you can dismiss it. However, I am guessing that the company is not the registered keeper as it is norm for companies to lease cars in which case the lease company should receive the NIP in 14 days.

It is actually 3 weeks from the date of the offense that they have to notify the registered keeper.
If the registered keeper then says it wasn't them, i'm not sure what the time scale is.
Were you driving at the time?

The Registered Keeper must be notified in 14 days. If the car is leased that will explain the delay. If you are named in the V5 as the keeper the NIP is out of time.
In your position I would copy everything including the envelope it in which it came and return it with a note stating it has been received outside the required 14 days. (assuming you are in fact the RK)
Good luck.
Let us know how you get on.
P.S. Do not send it straight back. Wait until after the week-end.

They have to ISSUE the NIP within 14 days so if you allow another week for post, I take it you know about the latest get out clause with the NIP? where you mention that you haven't been cautioned so there is nothing they can do as long as you tell them who was driving and put in a letter that you are complying with their request by giving the name of the driver but no legal action can be taken as you weren't cautioned? If not, it's here: http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=2846 from the looks of it, it works so it's worth a try but as you say surely this one has "timed out" as they say on pepipoo.

they have 14 days to notify the registered keeper of the vehicle, then 6 months to prosecute or issue the summons.
If the registered keeper of the vehicle does not receive the letter within or on the 14th day than the NIP no longer counts. But, you cant keep the letter for a week then say you've only just received it cos the post date is on the envelope etc.

yes very true but they have to prove it from there prospective and they never bother, well they dont in south yorkshire anyways. Not sure about other forces.

i think you'll find that it's 14 from the DAY after the offence, effectively meaning it's 15 days from the DATE OF OFFENCE
as already discussed, if the NIP gets sent to the leasing/hire company it's deemed as being served. the company is then compelled to state who was the driver/keeper of the vehicle at the time the offence occured. they then have 6 months to summons the nominated driver. however, if the summons is not served until 5 months and 2 weeks, you can try the defence that it's a breach of process as they should have served it sooner

I so say committed an offence on the 16/05/2006 and have a NIP issued on the 10/07/2006.
I received a reminder from them a few weeks ago, as I knew nothing about the first (so say NIP) I telephoned them and explained. They said they would issue me with the notice.
Surely this has exceeded the "14 days plus a reasonable time for postage" period?
Any advise would be appreciated
Thanks Phill
