This morning I received speeding ticket with the date of offence dating back to 26/7/24. I was expecting it as I seen the camera flash haha.

The date on the NIP is 03/09/24 which is 5 and half weeks later.

I have gone online on website listed on the letter which showd details of the offence.

I should mention that my car is a personal lease vehicle, so I can only assume the NIP was originally issued to the lease company because -

The website shows:
Notice sent on 01/08/24
New driver nominated 04/09/24.

So what I'm questioning is, if the lease company has named me as the driver on 04/09/24 at 07:58am, how can this NIP have been issued to me on 03/09/24.

Would I have any grounds here to contest it? 🤞🏻🤞🏻

No, the only time limit is the NIP to the registered keeper (or driver, but that’s never relevant as they don’t know who that is), subsequent notices (which aren’t a NIP as required by Section 1 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act) have no time limit, they could have left it 3 months and it would still not help you.

I think he's asking how it is possible that his NIP/s172 was (apparently) issued the day before he'd even been nominated, and whether that would help him.

The police have sent him a s172 notice. Interesting as that information may be, how or why they did so is irrelevant. It is obviously a clerical error of some sort as they clearly had his details before they issued the s172.
