If not already done so RK needs to nominate driver ASAP as 28 days already passed.

38 in 30 should be offer of course if offence in England / Wales.

Cost about the same as the FPN, 3-4 hours, most are online now.

If NIP was dated 10/4 when was it received?
The NIP was received on 14.4.26
28 days will be on 12.5.26 is this right

A notice sent by first class post on Friday April 10th, would be deemed to have been served on Tuesday April 14th (unless and until the contrary is proven). The end of the 28 day period beginning with the [deemed] date of service would be Monday May 11th - which is tomorrow.

With a clean licence, 3 points should have little or no effect on insurance.

Hi,
The registered keeper in UK of a vehicle has received NIP dated 10.4.2026, alleging to doing 38 in 30 zone.
The driver has not been to any speed awareness course in the past with a clean licence.
What are the outcomes for the driver.
1) will the driver be offered 3 points and a fine of 100. ( due to insurance hike will like to avoid)
2) will the driver be offered speed awareness course with a fine and not have 3 pp. How much is the speed awareness course, is it online, or have to go to a centre.

Thanks for your advice
