Thanks FuzzyDuck - yes it was a typo!

Sorry for my ignorance - but what is the all park cost of the Fixed Penalty fine?

How ironic. This will go quicker if you proof read your posts because the above makes no sense.

True, but how can any of that be proved? There is no error from DVLA that I am aware of. The information I have from DVLA says I was registered on 1.5.24 and the information I have from the police is that they checked the database on 3.5.24.

The police will have a record of what was returned on the PNC when they searched your registration number. Unless that was your details as the RK, they could not have sent an NIP to you. If it was someone else’s details, they would have sent an NIP to them. Odds are there was no trace.

These issues should be the responsibility of the DVLA and police, as I fulfilled my responsibility by having my details logged with DVLA and responding to the NIP timely.

The police and the DVLA are not the same body. If the DVLA messed up and the information was not sent to the PNC then that is hardly the police’s fault. The police could then seek to rely on the DVLA’s error to say why they couldn’t get your details.

There is a delay between the DVLA data being amended and that data being loaded to the PNC. So your “certain” may not be certain at all.

Is there a written charge? Does it say when the charge was authorised?

8
hence my question as to any way it can be written into the first post of a thread so it can't be missed.

You mean after they’ve posted (and already missed it)?

The Flame Pit / Re: Self adhesive number plate UK advise please

I seem to remember looking at this years ago. I think the conclusion was that it might be illegal but nobody was likely to care.

If you plead guilty, you’ll get a fine, court costs and victim surcharge. If you tell the court what you tell us (i.e. put it on the online form) then it’s likely that the court will reject your guilty plea, as it seems that your mitigation amounts to a defence.

It does seem the the OP is not guilty of the offence under s 144A, as the vehicle was insured. He does seem to be guilty of a registration offence though (not that it matters right now).

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Two NIPs on consecutive days

It clearly isn’t a single offence, unless the two NIPs result from the same journey either side of midnight. You can return the NIPs together and ask the police to exercise their discretion and only proceed with one of them but they’re under no obligation to do so.

Exceptional hardship is for when you are facing a totting ban (12 or more points). You’re doing bog standard mitigation.

Yes, in person will delay things.

You might persuade the court to reduce the points if getting six would cost you your job but the court may just think that you’re a professional driver so you should know better and the TfL policy is there for a reason.

Score: CP 2, EA 1

 >:( Once again an interpretation dependent on the whimsy of an individual adjudicator, apparently flying in the face of the 'must' of the Regulations...

That’s entirely consistent with other court rules. The flexibility is there to do justice, rather than to make justice the servant of the rules. Whether justice is done in an individual case is another matter.

Your personal circumstances only matter if you were the driver.

The company has an obligation to name the driver. If it does not, it is likely to be prosecuted for not doing so. Of course, a company cannot be given points, only a fine.
