My post generally arrives between 8am and 3pm which would make it a pain.

My belief is the day of the offence is day 0.

Perhaps contacting the local ticket office and enquiring if a NIPhas been issued might be prudent. Otherwise when does one stop waiting for it to come.

Great, now we have clarified day of offence is day 0 and it must be served within 14 days (that was yesterday)  and Postman has already come today at 11:30 and nothing so far.  Postman has agreed to check everyday for the rest of the week - comes around midday and I work from home so that should work out OK.

Thanks for your input.

Snap(ped) as in camera flashed, I take your point.

I suppose this is the definitive guide on the internet.

Yes and no. Those are the words of the legislation, but case law often clarifies what those words actually mean.

 A NIP is served when it is delivered, which is deemed to be 2 working days after properly posting by first class post, unless the contrary is proven.

The case law for the latter is Gidden v Chief Constable of Humberside

That's very helpful, thank you.

Update:  Offence on July 14th, today is July 31 and nothing received. Hopefully a lucky escape for me.

From the image what would you guys assume the speed limit was bearing in mind it's a 3 lane carriage with a 30mph road sign on the exiting side road.

I started a similar post the other day, looks like I added too much additional "colour" and it got taken down.
background:
last time I inflicted a similar situation on myself I managed to delay,delay,delay (pre covid) until eventually getting a summary justice "fill this in or else" type form. the eventualoutcome was I delayed my conviction @11 months so only had "active" points for 2 years 1 month (points applied from date of offence). I obviously took additional care in the interimperiod  but, for example, if I had been caught in speed awareness 'territory', that would have still been open to me. It also delayed additional insurance cost pain and reduced the period said pain was suffered by 11 months. The problem for me is that all the correspondence around delaying etc sits on a dead computer.
It was 52 in a 30, I tried some old yarns at the time but did still cop the full 6 points. Now expired.

last week I've likely picked up a band B, no NIP yet but probably somewhere between 71-74 (real speed) in a 50. obviously I understand strict liability, etc, I'm going to take some pain, would ususally be a straight 6 points I genuinely believe that there are some mitigating factors that make it "not as bad" as many other "70 odd in a 50". I'm wondering if at the summary justice stage,I have a slim chance of getting 4 instead of 6 points, assuming any actual proportionality gets applied.
Two aims -
1- anything to delay the process as long as possible, so all tactics on that appreciated. Just to be clear I'm not too fussed if dragging out to summary justice incurrs additional costs.

2- input from anyone that has managed to mitigate a band B down to four points -Can it be done? Or is 4 pOints only the preserve of those only a few M.P.H. into Band B?

Any constructive input appreciated.
