Speeding and other criminal offences / Received NIP :( 41days later
« on: August 13, 2025, 07:58:38 pm »
I was totally unaware that there was such a thing as a combined speed and traffic light camera -
the lights went green and I went but according to the camera I reached a speed of 42mph before reaching the 50mph zone a few yards ahead and obviously still in the range of the traffic light/combined speed camera.
Hence the NIP is for 42 in a 30 zone.
The alleged offence took place on the 2nd July – and the website says an NIP was sent out on the 3rd of July – but I definitely did not receive that.
The one I have received was dated 08/8/2025 - over a month after the alleged offence.
I have the V5 here and it looks like I am remiss in updating it, having moved a couple of times in the last few years - so I guess that will be why there was a delay – but over 1 month? Is that acceptable?
any opinion on whether that's likely to be a speed awareness course or points
do i have any realistic options other than suck it up?
