There is a second letter about a different NIP.

That’s what the letter 2 is about.


“Dear name

With reference to the communication 'Requirement for Name and Address of Driver' sent to you relating to the alleged offence involving vehicle
on (date) at Time at Location.
This was returned by you nominating (name).
To date police have been unable to contact the above named. Under the circumstances, you are required to confirm to this office that the details you previously gave are correct, in which case include any documentary evidence you have to support your nomination. If you are unable to provide any documentary evidence, please explain the exact circumstances under which the nominated driver was using the vehicle. If the nominated driver should reside outside of the United Kingdom then you must also provide
confirmation of insurance cover that was in effect for the person to use your vehicle at the time. I must point out to you, that to make a false allegation is a serious offence and can, upon conviction, lead to a term of imprisonment. Please note that your failure to furnish the information required may lead to prosecution for that failure.
Yours Sincerely,

My bad (in part) skimmed your earlier post and did not register that there are now 2 separate returned NIPs in play. That said, most posters would have ensured that this was more prominent.

Many forces will happily offer those who the suspect of concocting a "wizard wheeze" a chance to correct their "oversight". We now have two apparent attempts to pervert the course of justice that have come to the police's attention, that we know of so far. The Met aren't always regarded as the sharpest tools in the box, but you are quite likely to be very much on their radar now.

I appreciate that you don't want your son to tell you anything that you might have to give evidence against him about, but you need to have a word with him to confirm that when you nominate him he's not going to have any more bright ideas, and that the same applies to any other subsequent NIPs. Alternatively, ensure that he knows how to hold a bar of soap without dropping it.

It might be helpful for both of you to understand that whilst an adverse inference can be taken from a refusal to answer questions, or failure to mention something that you later rely on in defence, no inference can be taken from a refusal to answer questions, etc. before you have had chance to obtain legal advice.



I am responsible for the accuracy of the information I post, not your ability to comprehend it.

Thank you and understood.

Can I ask if you would say that the Letter 2 I drafted is suitable to send in reply to the second letter received?

I will, of course, respond and complete the NIP form on the first letter (Letter 1).
