Free Traffic Legal Advice

Yes, the advice you found online is absolutely correct. So correct in fact that I am surprised that you need to seek further advice.

If you read section 1 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, it clearly states that Jordan1992 shall not be convicted of any motoring offence unless he receives a NIP within 14 days from the date of the offence.

Thank you for your replies.
Yes the vehicle v5 is in my name.

Do i need to respond to the NIP confirming i was the driver at the time of offence?
And then once i receive the next letter appeal then?
Im not sure how i appeal

Thank you

This is where im not 100% sure
I’ve recently moved and sent my v5 off around the same time as the offence to change my address.
How can i find out if this is the first NIP sent by the police?

did you recive a new one??

As you notified the DVLA by post of a change of address 'around the time of the offence' it is 99% probable that they had your old address on record when enquiries were made.

What is the date on the NIP? Do you have mail forwarding in place from your old address to your new?

MickR's question is worth answering. Do you have your new V5C yet and if so, what is the doc ref date on page 2? That should tell you when the address change was processed in relation to the offence date.
