Free Traffic Legal Advice

pepipoo was a lot more friendly, currently the advice is "write to them" no form of words no **** all, so wind your neck in and try and be me, i have composed something, do you think it's ok ?"In compliance with your S172 request sent to me on 24th June 2025, I can confirm that I would have been the driver of vehicle xxxxxxx at the time stated, however I/it have not been at the location specified on the notice at anytime in the previous year"

Wild thought, but you could write them a letter.

possibly, but with legal timescales triggering an automatic 6 point endorsement, what would I write ?

What you probably have isn't a NIP, but a s172 notice asking you, as the registered keeper, to name the driver at the time of the alleged offence. You must do this within 28 days or face a fine of up to £1000 and 6 points. What was the location and where you say you think you were at the time., can you post that on here, it may help us to help you.

Edited to add to take note of what SlithyTove says above, both posted at the same time!

Obviously I have to comply wth the S172, but doing that triggers the course offer, but it also sort of admits to being at that location at that time, how do you get round this double edged sword ?

Good day all,

I've just received a NIP with what appears to be my car showing 41 in a 30, however the location on the NIP is on a road I never use, at the time of the offence I was a minimum of 5 miles away, the picture shows a dual carriageway with a roundabout but the location stated is a rural road with no roundabouts, obviously I could just take course tax and forget about it, but is there a valid defence ?
