Cyclone Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 The notice must be received with 14 days of the offence. Or more accurately the police must attempt to serve the notice (posting within) 14 days. Unless they have some good reason for the delay (ie incorrect registration details for the car), then 6 months is way way too long. Write them a letter and point this out, tell them you'll see them in court, they'll drop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkleBob Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 as far as i'm aware, the onus is on the police force to PROVE you/she were speeding and i think they have 6 months to get you in court for it, sounds as though you/your mississ may be, err, ok...

never wrong Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 they have 28 days to serve notice unless there is special reasons otherwise more than 28 days then you are clear, six months is way out of line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiesh Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Is she the registered keeper of the vehicle?? Had you recently moved or acquired the vehicle around the time of the offence??? If an original NIP was initially deemed as served within 14 days of the offence to the registered keeper recorded at the DVLA at that time she may still be liable to prosecution. However, it should be noted that the speeding offence itself will 'time out' 6 months from the date of the offence if papers have not been served at the courts but she could still be done for failure to provide details of the driver under Section 172 of the RTA if the 28 days on the NIP expires without a response. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has always been 14 days not counting the day of the offence!! You have 28 days to respond to the NIP or face a Section 172 offence in addition to the alleged NIP offence!
