NIP Details and Circumstances
What is the name of the Constabulary? - Metropolitan Police
Date of the offence: - 27/03/2024
Date of the NIP: - 03/04/2024
Date you received the NIP: - 04/04/2024
Location of offence (exact location as it appears on the NIP: important): - A20 Eastbound, West of Sandy Lane to East of Cookham Road (48114821)
Was the NIP addressed to you? - Yes
Was the NIP sent by first class post, second class or recorded delivery? - 1st
If your are not the Registered Keeper, what is your relationship to the vehicle? - My vehicle
How many current points do you have? - 0 (but I have a NIP for 25mph in a 20mph zone due to be replied to, AND a I had a previous 25mph-in-a-20mph-zone for which I did the awareness course last year)
I'm reeling. I'm 49 years old - been driving for thirty years without any speeding offences and now I've got 3 within 12 months! With the two live NIPs, will they be combined at court? Is it worth me pleading for lenience as a person who has a 30 year clear record and has switch to primarily checking the streets and not sat nav (which I was doing in error for all three tickets) and switched from Google maps to Wazes as a result of these?
I gather that "A20 Eastbound, West of Sandy Lane to East of Cookham Road" is infamous. It has gone from 70mph, to 50, to 40! There has been lots of noise about the new signage not being clear enough or people not being adequately alerted to the most recent change (the rouge/'unauthorised'50mph was removed before my ticket though). I don't know if these have any basis in law...
Again, I've have been relying to much on sav navs' which are not up to date.
