Hi,
I need to reply urgently to nip dd 2.6. I've been in and out of hospital this month hence delay replying..for offence dated 26.3. Addressed to me.
 I'm not the registered keeper or owner just driver for owner in care home whose licence has expired, no longer driving.
 Is it valid outside the 14 days?
 I'm not the only user of car but only insured driver as main user.
It's for 40 in a 30mph zone.
Please advise

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

The first NIP, to the Registered Keeper, is the only one required by law and so the only one subject to the 14-day time limit.

The NIP you have is provided for courtesy only and also because it is produced by the same system which produces the accompanying “request for driver’s details” (and is usually printed on the same sheet of paper). That request is not for courtesy, and it is not subject to any time limit. You must respond to it within the 28 days allowed.
