Hi peeps,,,
does anyone Know how long Mr plod has to notify you of a fixed speed camera offence....
I have been told that if you have heard nothing within 14 days then you wont at all !!!!!
Can anyone confirm this ?????or has any other info!!!!!
cheers....craig
Basically the NIP has to be sent within 14 days of the offence or the court won't be prepared to hear it.http://www.ukspeeding.co.uk/NIP.htmhttp://www.nopenaltypoints.co.uk/does-nip-have-be-served-within-14-days.htmlhttp://www.lawontheweb.co.uk/crimertonip.htm

craig, my boss was done last month and thought he'd got away with it but unfortunately it's 14 days from the offence to the date on the letter not when it arrives at your door! Guess what, his letter was dated exactly 14 days from the offence so expect the worst mate.
Now sitting with everything crossed for next couple of days,,,
just a thought though,,,,did not get my log book till 30th april post,,,but that means dvla should have had me as registered keeper on 25th????still might be ok!!!!
old red ,,,,,,if my lucks got anything to do with it,,,,more than 1 will arrive probably tomorrow,,,,,had a really bad month last month,,,,,
and Terry,,,i'm already geared up mate to expect the worse,,,,,just want my luck to change a tad this month!!!!!!

It actually depends wether it was a camera or you were pulled over.Once you recieve the nip either verbally or by post then they then have 6 months. But they have 14 days to inform you of their intention to prosecute. If you were pullen over then you have recieved the nip verbally.

Well my boss went to court to dispute the timing but ended up with a £700 fine and £250 solicitors bill. He was doing 101mph near Newcastle airport and proved the copper couldn't have got an accurate reading based on the time it takes to press the trigger and the distance he'd covered but still got done although he wasn't banned so I suppose he was lucky!!!
when i asked about the 14 days,they said as long as they have posted the letter within the 14 days,they are correct,i received my letter 8 weeks after the offence and had to pay,a law for them and a law for us?edd.
