I wish more people did. It seems easier to write an essay about how speed limits are wrong and bury a question in their somewhere and then get pissed off by people responding thinking you were looking to claim the speed limit was inappropriate rather than the time taken to deliver the nip. I blame the teachers. Not for the road works for the avoidance of doubt.The OP clearly stated that the offence date on the NIP was 8th November, and that they received the NIP yesterday (21/1/2017), but instead of people noting that the NIP has been served long after the 14 day period has ended, they've noted the speed and posted sarcastic remarks about the OP suggesting telling the authorities to: "poke it where the speed camera won't flash"
By the same token, it would help if the OP had given all of the details required, such as the fact as to whether they are the registered keeper of the car or if it is leased to them or belongs to someone else, whether they've moved house recently etc., etc.
TheDriverCom: Is the address on the car's V5 the same as where you actually live? - Or have you changed address since the V5 was issued?
If the answer is: "It's the same address" then you need to send them a polite letter pointing out that you believe the NIP to be invalid as it has not been served within the 14 day period as demanded by Law.
If the answer is "The address on the V5 is different because I've moved house" (or such like), then the NIP will still be valid because it would have been delivered to the address shown on the V5, and so long as it could be shown that it had been delivered to that address with the 14 day period, any delays getting the NIP to the new address would be irrelevant.
I never knew about this 14 day business.
Rather than start a new thread, I'm curious, I got fined because I accidentally drove a Sorned vehicle. But I got the fine 3 months after the offence occurred. Is that also the same situation, or is that any time? Offence 30/7/16 date of fine 03/11/16 (rcvd 7th).
Paid it now, so doubt I'd get it back either way. But curious anyway.

I also hate threads in SP&L that have stupid titles that offer no clue to what the subject is about so nobody knows it they can help without going into the thread. It seems its much easier to expect everyone else to do the hard work for you, and if you don't get the response you wanted to hear then blame everyone else.
