just had a thought on this.

If I was to make an assumption that the initial NIP sent to the lease company (VW) was showing the correct speed, can they just re-issue me with a revised one - showing a higher speed? That's assuming it's a typo on mine.

Obviously it will be way outside the 14 days, but does that matter?

FYI - all paperwork has been returned already with a covering letter

If a NIP was issued but specified an entirely different offence, then an amended notice specifying the correct offence would require to be served within the initial 14 days. Failure to do so would be a bar to prosecution.
even if the initial one was correct?

Anyone know if lease companies are legally oblidged to hold on to / share these documents?

out of interest, are these NIP's computer generated or manually inputed?

Trying to work out what the likely source of the error was? roadside or back room.

No further action due to "an administration error"

Either i got away with it or should never have been sent it. Who knows.

Good outcome nonetheless. Thanks for all your guidance chaps.
