Free Traffic Legal Advice

If the subject of valid insurance and subsequent prosecution for a lack of is not in the OPs SJPN pack then there is no nest or hornets. It is better to deal with what is on the table rather than making up scenarios to suit your musings. 

The good Dr won't have been done 3 times for 22mph in a 20. Our main sample set is from here, but generally most of the outraged about receiving a ticket for speeding will invariably say they were only doing 10% or less over the speed limit.

In my local there are at least 3 blokes who swear blind a camera got them at 31mph in a 30. I tend to politely tell them they are talking out of their hoop.

The usual reason for these bollards is to stop vehicles from mounting the curb. Being that there is only one and it is in this location it may have been added in relation to the Dray delivering to the Pub.

Google Maps suggests it has been there since at least 2008.

Standard practice these days is to plead not guilty to both offences and in the 'reasons for not guilty' box write that you would be willing to amend your plea for the speeding charge to guilty if the S.172 offence is dropped.

It used to be a necessity to attend court to facilitate this sort of deal, but we hear more often than not these days it is being performed at SJPN stage. If they don't accept the online plea then it will proceed to court where traditional methods can be used.   

So have you provided your licence details or not?

I wouldn't pop up here flag waving for a self serving **** like AGT. If you said the sky was blue he would insist that you didn't know what you were talking about and only he could properly advise on what colour the sky was.

Edit: Actually, just looking through your post history. Hi Andrew! 

Are there copies of the original NIPs within the SJPN pack?

I think what people are trying to establish is whether the details on your V5C are correct in order for the NIP to have had a chance of reaching you. You say you have had notices before, were they to your current address?

The problem you have have is knowing probably doesn't help you much. If the address is wrong on your V5, this is your fault and therefore you have contributed to the non-serving of the NIP.

If it is correct then you will have to prove that neither notices and possibly a couple of reminders were received, however the SJPN was.

A sceptical bench may ask if someone on 9 points may have an ulterior motive to claim no receipt. What may help is your claim is that you were not driving the vehicle at the time and therefore it was in your interests to have replied to both. But again without proof it will be decided if your defence was credible, if that was the angle you were going to run with.

Based on your knowledge and experience - what do you think the likelihood is that, me losing my job due to genuinely no alternative transport options, would be considered exceptional hardship?

As mentioned, losing your job on its own is not necessarily considered to be exceptional, however

I work shifts with irregular hours with special needs children, and there's no public transport

This could have a bit more mileage in it. Can you expand on this? Does your wife drive? Work? Do you need to ferry the kids about to and from appointments during the day?
