Royal Mail Strike Speeding Loophole
Discussion
"Tens of thousands of drivers who were caught speeding during December could escape fines and points because of the impact of the postal strikes, a leading motoring lawyer has warned.
Industrial action by Royal Mail workers last month caused major disruption to deliveries with some letters and Christmas cards taking weeks to be delivered.
Under the current law, anyone caught speeding must receive a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) within 14 days of the alleged offence.
But if they can successfully argue they did not receive the letter within the two-week window the case is likely to be thrown out by magistrates."
