Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Without care and attention
« on: March 02, 2026, 12:15:09 pm »
Work is 30 miles away. It's a special needs residential school where i am a senior care worker
Then you would need to major on the impact on others.

Would the school provide any assistance?  (Detailing such impact)

The log records who has the car on a daily basis not per hour or minute
Then the log records who is the person keeping the vehicle?

The Flame Pit / Re: Potential NIP - Average speed camera - Luton area

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Not a lot to say until a NIP/s172 arrives.

As you do not appear to be the RK then it could be many weeks before you hear.

Did you hold the phone at any point whilst also using it and driving? And perhaps more importantly, if you put the prosecution to proof, could they prove that you did?
Cycling Mikey will have a video recording and, as noted, isn't shy in attending court.

You say :I therefore did pay up", surely that means you can't plead not guilty in court. You've already dealt with the matter as a 6 point FPN.
No as one of the conditions of accepting the CoFP (Not FPN) is not reaching or exceeding 12 points.

Seems perverse, but there's nothing stopping the OP pleading not guilty.

All valid points and I will take this away and get to the bottom of the question of "who is the registered keeper". Thanks for all your responses.
Just to clarify that the requirement to name the driver (s172) is valid and must be responded to within the 28 days.  The '14 day rule' does not change that requirement.

However, naming the driver does not preclude any such defence to the underlying charge if the notice to the RK was deficient.

...was just seeing if there was a quick resolution.
Absent any actual defence (nothing you've said so far hints at one) then the quickest resolution will be a course to avoid the points or a fixed penalty (3 points £100).

One presumes from your post that you were driving?  What's the alleged speed and limit?

By not updating your V5C then you have committed a separate offence - the Police have complied with sending the notice(s) to your last known address.  Essentially, your inaction has resulted in the requests going to the wrong address.

However, all is not lost.

Failing to update your V5C is rarely pursued but on the presumption you were driving then you can offer to plead guilty to the underlying offence (speeding) if they agree to drop the more serious failing to furnish offence.

If you plead guilty to the speeding offence then you can still go to trial for the FtF - you could end up with a minimum of 9 points and some nasty fines and costs.

You should plead not guilty to both offences (however weird that seems) but add the above offer.  You may have to attend court to execute the 'plea bargain'.

I have now had an SJP notice. Among the forest of paperwork they have sent with the SJP is a Statement of Facts which states that I drove my vehicle on the “ Towards ( let’s say ) Banbury bound carriageway of the M40”. The offence was actually on the away from Banbury bound carriageway. One of the EROS offence images has been annotated with M40 SB which I assume means Southbound and that is correct.

The wording on the charge sheet mentions my vehicle on the M40 but doesn’t state which carriageway I was on.
They may have been on the SB carriageway but can enforce in both directions.  The key part was your car was there.

The back of another piece of paper has a signature from plod 1 saying the SD card was copied to disc on the 15th Dec ( correct ) which has been overwritten and initialled with 16th Dec ( incorrect ).
It's normal for the session video to be processed the day after by the backoffice.

Or will a single JP say there is so much doubt and throw the prosecution’s case out ?
A single JP won't decide anything unless you plead guilty.  And there's still a chance they'll refer the matter to a normal court hearing to consider a ban.

The single JP will only usually sentence 6 points if they feel that's appropriate.

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Late NIP

I would not have thought they would send out a reminder so soon.
It's dated 26 days after the offence (Almost 4 weeks) - may be, may be not a 'reminder'...

If the 'original' NIP is dated 3 weeks after the offence then the chances are this is not the NIP.  It could be a 'reminder' and are not always marked as such.

If they did send the NIP after 3 weeks and there's no statutory exception then, yes, it's a defence.

In the first instance get the V5C out and check all the details are 100% correct.  Particularly check the docref date (in DD MM YY format) at the bottom of page 2 - this is date the V5C was last issued.

If all checks out then in the first instance I would contact the issuing unit and see what they say.  The most likely explanation is the NIP was 'lost in the post'.  Unfortunately, they rely on a presumption of delivery that would be your job to rebut - which can be quite difficult in practice.

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Caught both ways (HGV)
« on: December 09, 2025, 08:34:09 am »
I have heard that some police forces do not offer courses for speeding when the vehicle involved is an HGV.
On another scan I think you may be right - the streetlighting is only on one side and very easy to miss.
