Title: Re: NIP received by company 5 weeks after date of alleged offence

Who is the registered keeper of the vehicle?
Actually the manufacturer who leases the car to the company is the RK I presume as they have the V5C
The '14 day rule' only applies to the RK.  One presumes they received it in good time?

Yes I will have to as there isn't any way of knowing for sure. So I'll get the company to go ahead and name the driver
Indeed - the s172 requirement is still valid even if the NIP was 'late'.

Absolutely no idea. Have you tried reading the cunningly hidden "READ THIS FIRST" stick at the top of the speeding forum?

I have yes but couldn't fathom a definite answer either way on best way to proceed

Hi all

The company has received an NIP for a 37 in 30 almost 5 weeks after the date of alleged incident. Is the 14 day rule still valid as the driver hasn't been named yet? The envelope was dated as well proving it was only put in the post 4 weeks after the alleged incident

Should the company fill it out identifying the driver as normal.
