Hi everyone,
My partner (the RK of the car) received a NIP in the post.
Letter is dated 30th March but the offence took place on 25th January.
I was the driver at the time, not my partner, but due to the time passed surely we can reject as time barred?
Just wanted to try and find out the best course of action here.
We were going to respond to the NIP stating I was driving anyway as we have heard that not responding to that is an offence in itself, but how would we deal with the time passed situation?
Just to note:
The address details were correct so there is no reason why it shouldn’t have got to us within the 14 days.
