Quote from: disgruntchelt on 14 Nov, 2025 13:36Do you have any evidence that it was received today? (Postman who witnessed you open it)Is there any explanation for the delay (crumpled envelope, writing on envelope saying delivered to wrong address etc?)I should be able to retrieve the CCTV footage and Ring camera footage, the letter doesn't have any writing on the envelope stating wrong address.

Quote from: NewJudge on 14 Nov, 2025 13:31The immediate problem that you have is that it is very likely the NIP was posted on the day it was produced (Thursday 9th October). This means it was deemed to have been “served” on you two working days later (i.e. Monday 13th October). You were required to reply, providing the driver’s details, by last Monday (10th November).So your priority should be to contact the issuing office, tell them what has happened and assure them that your response is on its way. Assuming you were driving, you must provide a written response by post. This will hopefully persuade them not to take action against you for “failing to provide driver’s details” – an offence which carries six points. As far as the late NIP goes, it is presumed delivered two working days after posting, unless the contrary can be proved. The police only have to prove that it was posted in time to meet the 14 day deadline, and if they do so, the burden falls on you to show that it arrived late. You will have to convince a court “on the balance of probabilities” (i.e. more likely to be true than not) that it was not received within 14 days. If you succeed with that, then no prosecution for speeding can succeed. You would normally be offered a course for that speed (provided you have not done one in the last three years). This would cost you about £100 and a bit of your time, but no points. If you fail to convince the court about the late NIP, you will almost certainly be convicted of speeding, pay a fine of half a week’s net income, a surcharge of 40% of that fine, around £650 in costs and receive three points.This answers my last post, thank you.

Quote from: FuzzyDuck on 14 Nov, 2025 13:23Since you have discounted the common valid reasons for a NIP to be served after 14 days, it sounds like this could possibly a reminder, any problems with postal deliveries, i.e. post going missing? Although you have the V5C, is the address on it 100% correct?Regardless of the validity of the NIP, you must name the driver. Failure to do so would see a much worse charge being raised. To defend this you would have to decline (i.e. ignore) any offer to dispose of the offence via a course or fixed penalty and allow the matter to proceed to court. However running a late NIP defence isn't as easy as you might think. If the police say a previous NIP was served within 14 days, but you say it wasn't it's toss up if the court would just accept that. We had a member on Pepipoo that even had a witness (postman) that a NIP was served late but was still convicted. Only got it overturned after two appeals.If the letter was a re-issue, would it have had a date on the NIP so soon after the alleged offence date? (The alleged offence was on 04/10/25, and the letter says 09/10/25).The V5C address is correct. Also, as the letter states, the S172 must be filled within 28 days, and it's evidently been over that, should I include a letter stating the reason it was replied to "late"?

Hi all,Have been served a NIP for doing 30 in a 20 with photographic proof online.https://imgchest.com/p/6eyraovx64pHowever I've been served the NIP way over the 14 day period. I own the car (not leased, financed etc). The V5C is in my name, I'm the sole owner.I've been at the same address for 10+ years. The car was on a custom reg which was reverted 30/08/2025 back to the originals and I received the updated V5C back then.Though the Date on the NIP is 09/10/25 I only recieved the notice today.Do I have any backing or do I just have to suck it up?Cheers,

I'm wondering if anyone can help with the second appeal? I have let the fine over run to the full amount and it would be a shame to have to pay it after all that

Quote from: Incandescent on 17 Aug, 2025 10:07OP, for the avoidance of doubt, can you please post up this "second notice". The first notice would have been the PCN.https://imgur.com/a/3tXpDm5

Quote from: Hippocrates on 16 Aug, 2025 21:44Which notice? PCN or EN?I believe it's the PCN... as it lets me appeal again through the TFL PCN details section

Quote from: Incandescent on 26 Jul, 2025 01:18OK, your video shows the roadworks, but you would seem not to have captured the "Use Bus Lane" sign. Their letter is the usual Fob-Off letter that totally fails to consider your representations. TfL have, like all authorities serving PCNs a duty to consider representations but here, although repeating most of yours, then totally fails to respons to them. If it were me, I'd take them all the way to London Tribunals as your evidence seems very strong, but sight of the sign would make a slam-dunk win, I think.So over to youThe "Use Bus Lane" sign is at 00:20 of the vimeo link 

Hello All,Looks like I have shot myself in the foot as I've already sent a appeal letter However I have received a Bus Lane fine for being in a Bus Lane on Tooting High Street.For context, there were ongoing roadworks and there was a sign to "Use bus lane" - I saw the sign up ahead and moved over to the bus lane however was landed with a nice and hefty fine.See video for context: https://vimeo.com/1104622747?share=copyOriginal Letter:https://imgur.com/a/xWUwNkDMy Defence:https://imgur.com/a/ffNnjQcTFL's appeal reply letter: https://imgur.com/a/HLa6LlKStreet View Link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/bAHUT18tseQ8VWnbADo I have any chance of appeal or should I just pay the reduced fine in the window I have?

Hi All,I made the mistake of stopping in a red route whilst looking for parking. However, received a PCN through the post which pictures of the alleged offence spaced 1 second between each other. In my defence the vehicle was on and not parked and the wheels were pointed towards the road suggesting that I was just about to set off again.PCN: https://imgur.com/a/uiarXLmStreet View Link: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.4305371,-0.1656031,3a,75y,274.48h,80t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sGNkAw9L4Yvesthfau2uWOg!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D9.995103142142653%26panoid%3DGNkAw9L4Yvesthfau2uWOg%26yaw%3D274.4752279011909!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDIyNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3DPS: The Street View signage for the red route is outdated, it is now this https://imgur.com/a/YOdm10cDo I have any case here?
