Free Traffic Legal Advice

Ok great thanks so much for explaining Newjudge!

So will fill out 'I was not the driver' and then fill in that my dad was and wait for him to receive the next form in his own name then fill that in to confirm he was the driver.

Thank you!

Really helpful, much appreciated

My question is, how to respond, do I just fill in the details on the back with my dads details

Yes - they will usually accept a 'late' nomination (as long as it doesn't appear something untoward is going on like trying to architect a 'timeout').

Assuming they accept the nomination (from the company) then another s172 request will be issued to the driver - this has to be completed (and signed) by the recipient (your Dad).

how can I try for him to do the educational course instead of points, would that be allowed for both?  It says that may be an option available only until end of july on one / beginning august on other

At best they will only offer one.  The other would likely see a fixed penalty offer (3 points £100).

I am acting for my dad as I deal with all his paperwork etc so am able to respond accordingly.

Note the above when he receives his own s172.

Thanks JustLoveCars for your helpful responses! Much appreciated and noted.

So I shouldn't include a letter asking for the courses, its something they will decide themselves?

I just noticed I can reply online, so does it make a difference online or filling in the form and posting?

Out of interest, what is architecting a timeout?

Thank you!

Hi all

I was recommended this site so thank you in advance for your assistance, much appreciated and I've read the read this first section too, thank you.

My dad got 2 x NIP in the post one for doing 31 in a 20 and other for doing 29 in 20, both on the same road about 2 weeks apart. Thought it was a 30 didnt realise was a 20.

NIPs are dated about a month and a month and half ago.

Just found the letters as mum (with dementia) had hidden them and we did not see them (not on purpose, she doesnt realise what she does).

My question is, how to respond, do I just fill in the details on the back with my dads details, how can I try for him to do the educational course instead of points, would that be allowed for both?  It says that may be an option available only until end of july on one / beginning august on other

The car is registered to the company, but it was my dad driving, so does that make any difference how to fill it in?

Thanks so much for any advice, much appreciated.
