The lating game
My partner has received a NIP dated 13.07.09 regarding an alleged offence of her car travelling at 35mph in a 30mph limit, committed on 05.06.09. I understand that that the Police have 14 days to issue this notice, this has taken them 38 days. Included in the paperwork is a form saying why she has received this outside 14 days, I quote 'The initial notice was sent within 14 days to the registered keeper with DVLA. However this ruling does not apply to any subsequent notices.’ What does that mean? Seems to me like these can be sent out any time they care adding this line above, who can prove they have sent out an initial notice? So have you any thoughts how to challenge this?

I think that needs taking to court, perhaps with the support of the
Association of British Drivers. (www.abd.org) The questions to be asked are: did she receive a previous NIP, in time? And, if the issuing authority was so certain it sent the original NIP, then why did it send a subsequent one? There may be a criminal case against the issuing authority for attempting to pervert the course of justice. Someone did recently get done for falsifying the dates NIPs were sent out.
